Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given us, let us
use them; [if] ministry, let us use it in our ministering
Romans 12: 6-7a NKJV
In addition to our other ministries in Russia, CCCPM and the National Association of Calvary Chapel "Russia" have opened their doors to assist Churches and ministries (not necessarily related to Calvary Chapel) that are working in the Moscow region and/or who are in need of lodging. Even if you are not a Calvary team, as long as you are evangelical, we would love to be a blessing to you and serve you as you serve the Lord in Russia. We can help your ministry in these ways:
Our dorm can comfortably provide
room and board for your ministry team for up to 40* members. The gated grounds are
set in the Moscow region village of Snigeri.
The dorm has three stories and
derives much of its charm from its vaulted roofing and wood-paneled interior.
It contains a roomy dining room, separate men's and women's floors, computer
room, library, landing for small group gatherings, balcony, laundry facility,
and backyard where volleyball and BBQs are often enjoyed
in good weather.
Depending on the size of your group, sleeping arrangements can accommodate most
situations, from couples' rooms to setting up separate men's and women's
floors for larger teams. The women's floor consists of rooms with bunk beds
(up to four in a room) and a private bathroom/shower. Men's floor also has bunks
(which sleeps up to 14) and has a communal bathroom/shower.
* We can accommodate teams larger than 40 if team members are willing to
sleep on air mattresses.
Teams that have stayed at the dorm include those focusing on:
*Evangelism, including sports and music programs
*Discipleship
*Small conferences
*Orphanage visits
Getting around in Russia is very different than in the United States and can be challenging. We can assist you in securing taxis, trains (both commuter and overnight), metros, buses, vans, etc.
Setting up your mission can be a daunting task, especially if you're trying to make arrangements from the States. We can help with things such as calculating times your team will need to allow to catch a commuter train and setting up hotel accommodations in a desired city. There are many steps that are involved in planning out a successful mission and we can help you in reaching your logistics goal.
We have team members that are fluent in English and have been a tremendous help to our church planting and orphanage teams, as well as taking teams (as a side trip) to points of cultural interest such as Red Square. Most are Russian, all are Godly young men and women, and all very experienced in helping teams with their daily schedule, which can include challenges such as using the metro system or ordering food at a restaurant.
As the CCCPM team regularly deals with obtaining religious worker invitations and visas for our incoming ministry teams, we can extend this service to you.
We hold daily devotions each morning and have staff members that can assist your team during times of worship.
Whether you just need a place to overnight or need help in all aspects in setting up your mission, we'd be honored to serve you as God uses you to serve Him in Russia. For more information, please e-mail:
