Our Network consists of six
churches located in different cities around Moscow, the capital of
Russia. Tula is the center between all of them. The longest distance
between churches is 300 miles.
Once a month all pastors and their
wives get together for a regional pastor's meeting. We spend about five
hours together in worship, prayer, sharing of the Word, etc. We also
have fellowship at lunch, where we can share our experiences and edify
one another.
Tula Christian Center, Tula
Pastors Nikolay and Nelya Nikitin
They just started their ministry as pastors on
November 5, 2006. They have a vision for Tula, and are full of
fire & ready to turn their city upside down for God! Tula Christian Center has about 150 adult members,
and about 30 kids in Sunday School.

Light of the World, Nelidovo
Pastors Sergey and Valentina
Zhikharev have been pastoring since 2003. They answered the call
to take over a struggling church on the verge of closing down, since
it was without a pastor. At the time it was just a small home group
with 8 people in it. Now the congregation has about 25 people and
is still growing. Definitely a faithful couple!
Rzhev Christian Center, Rzhev
Pastors Alexander and
Natalia Safronov
They
were ordained to be pastors of this church in 2004 after their pastor
stepped down from the ministry. Alexander and Natalia both got saved
about 12 year ago. They are a young couple but they have hearts full of
passion to serve the Lord.
Ryazan Christian Church, Ryazan
Pastors George and Jill
Rodriguez (missionaries from Gonzales, LA) began pastoring the church in
Ryazan four years ago. Since then they were able to strengthen the
ministry & increase the Kingdom of God. They have raised up strong
leadership, maintained a great youth ministry, and opened a Drug Rehab
Center as well.
Podolsk Christian Center, Podolsk
Pastors Vladimir and Valentina Khudyakov have
been pastoring in Podolsk since 1993. They have a small home church,
and are faithfully growing while spreading the Good News in their
community.
If anyone can be late or cancel his/her coming
to the regional meeting,
than Pastor Vladimir will never do it. He says, 'Only death can separate
me from coming :-)'
Serpukhov Christian Center, Serpukhov
Valery and Galina Bubnenkov
After Pastors Vladimir &
Natalia Vikhlyaev left Serpukhov Christian Center was adopted by Tula's
Church. Currently Pastor Nikolay Nikitin takes care of the Church and he
has four leaders from his Church who travel to Serpukhov regularly to
help him to oversee the people there.
