A word from our pastor

You will not be a stranger here for long.

Military life moves families every few years. A church should be the one place that steadies them. That is what we try to be in Vicenza.

Our pastor preaches through the Scriptures week by week and shepherds a congregation that changes with every rotation of orders. Vicenza Baptist has served military families in Europe for more than 35 years, welcoming soldiers, spouses, and children who arrive far from home and need a church that will love them and open the Bible with them.

Pastor Tim Drylie — 1:1-8

How can we count it all joy when our faith is tested? In James 1:1–8, we see how God uses trials to teach us patience and make us more like Christ. This sermon encourages us to ask God for wisdom in faith and to trust him even when we don’t understand what he’s doing.

The most important question

Do you know that you have eternal life?

Salvation is not earned by good living or church membership. It is the free gift of God, received by faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If you have questions, we would gladly open the Bible with you in person or by phone.
