Czechia is a beautiful country with mountains and hills that ripple around hamlets, villages and towns, with its capital, Prague, as its cultural center. Yet less than 1% of Czechs identify as evangelicals, while distrust of organized religion is reflexive. Because of these factors, Avant’s first church planting team was only able to plant a house church which has not multiplied. The team is now working with national Christians to work toward more rapid multiplication in Prague and in nearby Hradec Králové.

Our church planting team is looking for team members willing to connect with Czechs through conversational evangelism and dialogue-based discipleship. Ministry opportunities include relating to Czechs through popular hobbies, such as fitness, music, and outdoor experience, and teaching English to university students. 

Since Czech culture is curt and critical towards strangers, long-term investment is needed. Language fluency takes 2-5 years to achieve. Because of language learning and scope of ministry, we are looking for a commitment of at least five-years.
