Taking the family to church can raise practical questions: will there be space for the children? Will they feel okay? Will I be able to take part with the kids nearby? At Surf Church Porto, the answer is simple: there's room for the whole family, from the youngest to the grandparents.
Faith that fits into family life
Faith wasn't made to live isolated in a corner of the week. It grows better when it's shared at home and in community. So, more than a Sunday event, we want to be a real support to family life: a place where parents and children are welcomed, known by name and accompanied.
Here you'll find couples, single-parent families, parents newly arrived in Porto and families who have lived here for years. What unites us isn't a perfect model of family, but the desire to walk with Jesus together.
You can come as you are. The table at Surf Church Porto always has one more seat — and chairs for the little ones too.
Surf Church Porto Kids: space for children
Surf Church Porto Kids exists to welcome children of all ages, with care and safety, while parents take part with peace of mind. The idea is for the family's arrival to be easy, stress-free, and for every child to feel welcome.
If you come with children, you can ask the Welcome team how it works on the day, where to leave the children and how everything is organized. No surprises: we explain in advance.
A Sunday designed for all ages
We meet on Sundays, in Matosinhos, in an informal and welcoming environment. There's a time of worship, a Bible-centered message and space to spend time together. The community is PT/EN, so local and international families feel at home in the same room.
How to visit with the family
Plan your first visit without worries: talk to us on WhatsApp, say you're coming as a family and how many children you're bringing, and the team will help you with directions, the time and everything you need to know. Come as you are.
