About Us

The history of
our church

For over 25 years, we’ve been helping the people of Lviv discover Christ, grow in their faith, and step into the world ready to serve. The church was founded after the Hosanna Festival in 1999, which is where our name comes from.

Together in challenges

The Church during
the war

Since the start of the full-scale war, over 2,000 people have passed through our church. Some stayed overnight, while others stayed longer. We provided beds and everything they needed within our facility.

Through the church, we’ve distributed nearly 4,000 tons of humanitarian aid, mainly food, hygiene supplies, blankets, and mattresses, to internally displaced people and residents of occupied territories.

Thanks to the church, more than 60 vehicles were made available for evacuation. As a result, volunteers have helped over 40,000 people leave dangerous areas.

We opened a crisis center to assist pregnant women, most of whom were forced to temporarily leave their homes. The city built two housing projects for them, which the church now manages and cares for.

The church will not stop serving the community, especially in wartime. We aim to continue providing vehicles, supporting displaced people, and meeting urgent needs.

Our Defenders: May They Rest in Peace!

We honor the memory of the fallen heroes and our friends who gave the most precious thing for the sake of freedom.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13, Bible.
Thank you for the highest expression of love. We remember.

The community of the “Hosanna” Church and the “Church of Christ the Savior.”

Your choice

How to obtain
salvation

Human Sin

God gave people free will and the freedom to choose. This means we can follow His commandments or choose to go our own way. This choice made by Adam and Eve led to a separation between God and humanity. The result of turning away from God is spiritual, eternal death.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

Romans 3:23

Christ

Even though mankind has turned their backs on God, He still loves us and wants us to know Him. There is only one spiritual bridge that can span the gap separating humanity from God: Jesus Christ.
"But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

Romans 5:8

Your Response

Christ made it possible for us to cross the gap and has secured a place for us with God. However, we don’t automatically end up “on the other side”, we must repent of our sin and invite Jesus Christ into our lives.
"Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God."

– John 1:12

Church of Evangelical Christians Lviv

The Hosanna Church in Lviv is a place where you can come to worship, hear the Gospel, socialize, and take a step toward God. If you are searching Google for “Baptist church Lviv” or “Evangelical Christian church Lviv,” we are happy to meet you. We belong to the Evangelical Christian Baptist (ECB) tradition: we adhere to biblical teachings, pray, grow in faith, and support each other in real life.

For many people, “finding a church” is not about religious interest, but about very practical things: where to find answers to difficult questions, where to find community, where to find support when times are tough. We do not promise a perfect life, but we believe in the real change that God brings about in people through Jesus Christ.

If it is important for you to find “your place” among Christians, where you will not be judged by your appearance or past, we have a simple principle for this: a person is more important than impressions.
