Welcome to Amsterdam!
June 1-4, 2025
Come and join us at the 20th Believers Church Conference, June 1-4 2025 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands! We will celebrate 500 years of Anabaptist beginnings and reflect on what it means to work on ‘radical renewal’ in times of major crisis and systemic injustices, while anticipating in hope for the promised ‘new heaven and new earth’. It is a conference for academic theologians, students, pastors and all who want to celebrate Christian renewal in ecumenical perspective.
Call for Papers
In times of major crisis and systemic injustices, the question arises, how “radical” the children of the “Radical Reformation” are – after 500 years – in terms of their participation in the promised renewal of all, as imagined in Revelations 21.
The 20th BCC invites these contributions to be discussed and tested among the participants. It is a space for encounter and common discernment, a place for prayer and celebration, a space for touching wounds and healing – North and South, East and West – in the presence of a promised and confessed “new heaven and a new earth”.

Planning committee
Corresponding with the commemoration of the 500 years of the Anabaptist movement, the upcoming BBC promises to be an important space to come and discern together what a “Radical Renewal” entails in the world we live in today. Theology, ethics, and witness are meant to be revisited, challenged, and reimagined as part of this movement of renewal. Weather as a presenter or participant, joining in the next BCC conference will imply not only the possibility to learn from people with diverse backgrounds, locations, and experiences but also to contribute and help shaping how this “Radical Renewal” can be understood and embodied.
