Gazing upon De Binnenwaai, can you sense the warmth it exudes? De Binnenwaai is more than just a church in Amsterdam’s IJburg district. It’s a beacon of acceptance, established around 2010. It welcomes all IJburgers, regardless of beliefs. De Binnenwaai offers a space free of judgment. A place where you can simply be yourself. This sentiment is echoed by Marjolein Hekman, the church’s pastor. She appreciates the non-judgmental atmosphere that pervades De Binnenwaai. While traditional in some aspects, with Sunday services, evening prayers, and Bible study, De Binnenwaai embraces modern community engagement. It hosts a vintage clothing store run by the Salvation Army and boasts its own book club, aptly named “Bier & Boeken” (Beer & Books). This blend of the sacred and the secular creates a vibrant hub for connection. De Binnenwaai extends its welcome beyond the confines of its walls. Most Sunday services are streamed live online and available for later viewing. It actively fosters a sense of belonging, embracing both traditional practices and contemporary community building. De Binnenwaai is a testament to the power of inclusivity and community in modern Amsterdam.
