Nieuw Benthem – living in a vibrant neighborhood near Waterpleinkerk
Nieuw Benthem is set to be the new place where young energy and Rotterdam city life come together – right next to Waterplein, beside our church.
We look forward to meeting the new residents. Living in Nieuw Benthem? This might be your local church as a resident of Nieuw Benthem, Rotterdam. Closer than you think.
A new neighborhood calls for a church that moves with it.
That’s why we aim to be visible, welcoming, and close – both during the week and on Sundays.
What is Nieuw Benthem?
Nieuw Benthem is a modern residential complex for students, starters, and young people in Rotterdam.
With Waterplein on your doorstep and sports fields around the corner, this becomes a neighborhood where meeting others happens naturally.
Could you be one of our new neighbors next to Waterpleinkerk?
We’re literally next door to your new apartment. That makes it easy: our door is open.
But being visible goes further – it means you can find us, recognize us, and drop in without a fuss.
- Friendly atmosphere, no barriers
- Coffee moments & conversations
- Services with music, space and reflection
- Activities for students, young professionals & locals
- A recognizable landmark in a growing neighborhood
- Be part of our mission and journey
“We believe a church belongs in the heart of the neighborhood – warm, open, and curious about new stories.”
How do we want to be present?
We don’t want to be a church that only opens on Sundays. New residents bring new energy.
And we want to be there when you need us – planned or spontaneous.
Even when the building is closed, we aim to stay visible and recognizable in the neighborhood.
Who is this for?
- International students & expats
- New residents in the Agniesebuurt & Benthem area
- Young professionals & families
- Those exploring faith or community
- Local neighbors curious about our space
