Our Facilities
"O God, make the door of this house wide enough to receive all who need love and fellowship, but narrow enough to shut out all envy, pride, and strife. Make its threshold low enough not to be a stumbling block to children or to weary, troubled feet, but high and strong enough to turn away the power of the tempter. God, let the door of this house be the gateway to Your eternal kingdom." (Unknown)
The Närvilä Prayer House is located in a visible and easily accessible location along Jyväskyläntie, at the corner of Maalaistie and Kaustarinkatu. The visiting address is Kaustarinkatu 13, Kokkola.
The prayer house was inaugurated on May 29, 2003, and offers functional spaces for meetings, memorial services, baptisms, weddings, and other events.
There are a total of 252 seats, of which 182 are in the main hall and 70 in the dining area. The well-equipped kitchen has the capacity to serve approximately 180 diners and 250 coffee guests.
For the youngest members of the family, there is a nursing room located next to a separate children's room, allowing participation in events while considering the needs of small children.
