If you're visiting a church in Matosinhos for the first time, it's normal to want to know simple details before leaving home: where it is, what time to arrive, what language is used, whether you can come with children, how to talk to someone and what to expect from the environment.
Surf Church Porto is at R. Dom Nuno Álvares Pereira 859, 4450-217 Matosinhos, Portugal. We're a PT/EN Christian community, with locals and internationals, where you can arrive as you are and be welcomed with simplicity.
The first visit is easier when there are directions, times, a contact and someone expecting you.

Portuguese and English in the same community
Surf Church Porto is a PT/EN community. This doesn't mean two separate communities. It means one family that seeks to walk together, welcoming people who speak Portuguese, English or are still learning one of the languages.
You don't need to master everything to take part. If you have doubts about language, talk to the Welcome team before your visit.
Can I come with children?
Yes. Surf Church Porto Kids welcomes children of all ages. Before your first visit, it's worth talking to the team to confirm the day's dynamic, the team available and any practical guidance for arriving with family.
What should I wear?
Come in comfortable clothes. There's no need to look religious, formal or different from who you are. Our priority is that you can arrive, get a feel for the space, meet people and take part with ease.
What happens when I arrive?
On your first visit, look for someone from the Welcome team or send a message before arriving. The team can help with directions, entry, times and next steps. The goal is that no one feels lost on arrival.
Surf Church Porto values the table, the Bible, community, discipleship and shared life. Surfing is part of our story, but it isn't an entry requirement. You can arrive as you are.
Courses and next steps
The available courses and next steps should be checked on the church website. Since the schedule can change according to the calendar and leadership, the best way is to check the updated page or talk to the team on WhatsApp.
