WELCOME TO OPEN HOUSE!
Open House Berlin serves as a relational learning forum for like-minded, diverse church communities, committed to building and strengthening local churches across Central and Eastern Europe.
Our aim is that Open House will be a time of encouragement and inspiration, empowering church leaders and teams to continue building, innovating, and contributing to the well-being of society.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Ps. Mário Rui Boto
Lisbon, Portugal
Ps. Mario is a seasoned church builder and offers a wealth of wisdom for church leaders and teams. Mário founded what is now Hillsong Portugal over 20 years ago. These humble beginnings, with just 12 people in the living room of his home, have grown into a vibrant church with thousands of members across more than 10 locations. The story of this local church continues to inspire many across Portugal and around the world.
Ps. Yurii Ravnushkin
Kyiv, Ukraine
Ps. Yurii understands the many pressures involved in building and pastoring church communities in Eastern Europe. Yurii has been leading Hillsong Church in Kyiv, Ukraine, for many years and has continued to faithfully serve the people and communities affected by the war. Yurii brings wisdom, depth, and humour into leading the local church and will be a huge encouragement to other church leaders and teams at this year’s Open House Berlin.
