Завоевать в Смоленске и Смоленской области молодежь и не только для Христа. Но особенно поддерживать и наставлять уверовавших. Через концерты рок-музыки, уличные благовестия и христианское кафе мы привлекаем нашу молодежь к ответу на самый главный вопрос - кем является Иисус Христос для тебя?
Кроме этого у нас есть видение помогать сиротам - наше служение в детском доме-интернате растет. Особенно ярко видно как люди принимают решение служить детям-сиротам - это помогает им расти во взаимоотношениях с Господом.
New Name
Hi there! This is Pastor Mike, and I thought it was time to update our home page with some current info for all of you to pray and consider what's happening in CC Smolensk. Some of you may not realize it but we changed our church name to Blagavest, with a footnote saying we're an affiliated Calvary Chapel. There were some legal problems we had with Calvary Chapel in Smolensk! So in order to keep us and the others in peace we changed our name to Blagavest; it means "Ring in the Good News" which basically sounds better in Russian!

Our fellowship has been formed as a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only to their over-emphasis of the doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Christ.
We believe the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ's Agape love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.
We believe worship of God should be spiritual.
Therefore, we remain flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship.
We believe worship of God should be inspirational. Therefore, we give great place to music in our worship.
We believe worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore, our services are designed with great emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us how He should be worshipped.
We believe worship of God should be fruitful. Therefore, we look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshipping Him.
We believe in all the basic doctrines of historic Christianity.
We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, that the Bible, Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible Word of God.
We believe that God is eternally existent in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that God is the personal, transcendent, and sovereign Creator of all things.
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement of our sins by His substitutionary death on the cross, was bodily raised from the dead, ascended back to the right hand of the Father, and ever lives to make intercession for us.
We believe in the personal, visible, and pre-millennial second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. He will return with His saints and set up a kingdom of which there will be no end.
After Jesus ascended to Heaven, He poured out His Holy Spirit on the believers in Jerusalem, enabling them to fulfill His command to preach the Gospel to the entire world, an obligation shared by all believers today.
We believe that all people are, by nature, separated from God and responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.
We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Scriptures, and that they are valid for today if they are exercised within the scriptural guidelines. We as believers are to covet the best gifts, seeking to exercise them in love that the whole Body of Christ might be edified. We believe that love is more important than the most spectacular gifts, and without this love all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless.

Calvary Chapel Philadelphia
One of our home churches Calvary Chapel Philadelphia will be sending a team to Smolensk once more this year! We're so excited to hear the good news and what's even more special about this group is, that half of this new group is coming back again! Last year we had CC Philly's high school (29 kids in all) come for an outreach in Smolensk. All of us, the staff included were awesomely blessed by the conduct and behavior of this youth group from Pastor Joe's church in Philadelphia! One of our dear translators Lena Bensen was so impressed with this group! Lena worked with CCCPM for five years conducting hundreds of teams as one of the translators. When she saw the conduct of this youth group she couldn't help but thank God and tell us about how impressed she was with CC Philly! Needless to say we did have a wonderful time with CC Philly and Carlos the missions pastor, and Rob Paoletti the worship leader. They really blessed us and were so evangelistic!
The dates for this year's outreach are: June 16th to the 28rd. We'll be having four nights of concerts an English Club during the first week, and some time at an Orphanage just outside our city! Also we're hoping to visit a rehabilitation center for young men who have given themselves over to drugs and alcohol. This center is run by a local Christian organization and we want to share the Love of Christ with them! Please keep us in prayer for all of these events to have an eternal impact on Smolensk and their lives!
