Those years hold many real people and real stories, and they let us say: God has been faithful. On 25 October we celebrated with an anniversary service at Lodjakoda.
Watch the anniversary serviceHow we got here
“At first I only wanted to see how other churches worship, and then I just kept coming to Risttee.”
“Anyone who has met God in their life may wander anywhere for a while, but in the end they come back to God.”
“I am hugely grateful to God for leading me to Risttee and for shaping my life through the life of the church.”
