In 2002 four English speaking people started to attend meetings of the local Spanish Evangelical church in Pilar. The church met in a small, hot garage and there was no translation of the Spanish service into English. In 2004 the church moved into a new building in Calle Integracion and with the support of other English speakers, it was decided to start a separate English speaking service. The congregation numbered approximately ten people and met in the morning, whilst the Spanish church met in the evening.

Various people assumed leadership responsibilities until on 1st August 2009 the church called a pastor, Rev. Eddie Martens, who was inducted in September 2009.
The church has now moved into larger premises as from March 2010 at Calle Canalejas 3, (opposite the Pilar Cinema), Pilar de la Horadada, 03190. There is now a membership of approximately forty people, plus those who join us as they arrive for holidays, some very short term holidays others staying for a matter of months.
Pilar Christian Community Church is an interdenominational church; we welcome people from every other Christian tradition, having amongst us people from Anglican, Methodist, Pentecostal, Congregational, Baptist and Free Evangelical traditions. We particularly welcome those, who have not regularly attended any church before.
Our Sunday morning service at 11 A.M. is a relaxed and lively affair, encouraging congregational participation and there is a time of fellowship afterwards, when people are encouraged to mix over a cup of tea and refreshments.

There is a mid-week meeting at 5 P.M. on Thursdays and there are house groups at different locations during the week. Come and join us for any service and be blessed.

Thank you on behalf of Pilar Christian Community Church
