OUR PASTOR: RONNIE STEVENS
DANUBE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH
THE HISTORY:
In 1995 a number of families found themselves in Budapest, drawn
together around the common desire to follow Jesus Christ, to serve
one another, and to serve the greater English speaking community.
They began what is now called Danube International Church.
THE PEOPLE:
Like most international churches, the people who attend Danube
International come from a number of different nations and represent
a number of different church backgrounds within evangelical traditions.
Many who attend the church have had years of experience living
in cross-cultural settings in Europe and around the world. Some
have come to Hungary in business or government capacities, while
others are in the country teaching English or working at International
Schools. Many others are living in Budapest and directing Christian
ministries in a number of other Central and Eastern European Countries.
THE RESOURCE:
The community of people at Danube International Church bring
a rich heritage and strong experience in dealing with the difficulties
often encountered in living in a cross cultural setting, especially
for the first time. They provide a deep sense of Christian tradition
and expression that is often needed when feeling discouraged. A
loving, caring church family is a wonderful asset to anyone away
from home.
THE WORSHIP EXPRESSION:
Danube International Church incorporates both modern and traditional
styles of music and expressions of worship during our morning service.
THE CHILDREN AND YOUTH:
Danube International Church provides an opportunity for children
from age two through high school. Children ages two through 5th
grade meet together for Sunday School during the church service.
There is a nursery provided for infants up to two years old also
during the service. There are programs provided throughout the
week for middle and high school students.
THE PASTOR:
Ronnie Collier Stevens is a native of Atlanta, Georgia, and has
pastored Churches in Munich and Moscow. From 1994-2003 he was
Senior Pastor of First Evangelical Church, Memphis, Tennessee.
Ronnie and his wife Jane moved to Budapest in July, 2003. They are
the parents of Katie, married and teaching school in Memphis, Seth,
a Sophomore at Moody Bible Institute, and Ruth a Freshman also at
Moody Bible Institute.
