The leadership team

International Church the Garden is an elder-led church. The Leadership Team is the group of the Ministry Leaders and the Pastors who are responsible for the operation of the church.

There are many others actively involved who play a very important part to in leading their teams, for example, the Kids and Youth ministries, Worship Team, Table Team, Online Team and Translation Team. Also let us not forget our Home Group Leaders, who lead our small groups, as we work together to see God growing a beautiful and special Garden!

Founders/Pastors

Evert and Geraldine

We, Evert & Geraldine Nooter- van Amerom, are the founders of The Garden, a newly planted International Church in Hilversum. We have been expats (Japan, Australia, USA, France, Switzerland) for over 10 years with a young family, and are now settled in Hilversum. We are happy to welcome anyone who is looking for a (spiritual) home in the Netherlands.

As internationals who have lived abroad we know first-hand how hard it is to find a Christian connection in a new country. Therefore our goal is to help people flourish emotionally and spiritually in every aspect of life. We love to empower people to be deeply rooted in the hope of the Gospel. “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10.

Whether you are a follower of Jesus or not everyone is welcome in The Garden. We would love to explore and challenge the questions of life together! We are here to reach out, support and encourage one another, make connections and provide fellowship and share love and prayer… sometimes a little touch of a divine spark is all you need to be encouraged, like water to a dry garden!

Feel free to send us a message if you have any questions!”

Founder/Elder

Pastor Emeritus Herman van Amerom

Pastor Emeritus Herman van Amerom has served the Lord for 70 years, since he was 18 years old. He planted more than 30 churches in France, Switzerland, Africa and the Netherlands.

From 1975-1996 he was general superintendent of the Assemblies of God in the Netherlands (now VPE) and founded Teen Challenge Haarlem and had many other functions on boards of Christian organizations.

Pastor Herman was the driving force behind International Church The Garden as it started and grew in his own backyard. He genuinely loves people and loves to share the love of God with everyone he comes in contact with.

Elders

David and Margaret White

We are David and Margaret White originally from Scotland, living in the Netherlands for many years and a short time in the USA. We have three married children and four grandkids who all live in NL.

We have been active in different churches where we have lived. Margaret has a heart for those in need and was involved for many years in their spiritual care as well as leading Freedom in Christ Discipleship Courses. David has lots of experience in the development of these churches. He has a great passion to see people finding Jesus Christ especially through all the Alpha Courses he has enjoyed leading.

After our retirement a few years ago God led us to the area of Hilversum and more recently to IC The Garden. We find it exciting to be part of this flourishing international church and seeing people grow in their faith and becoming disciples of Jesus Christ.

In our free time we love travelling abroad, walking, golfing, photography, hanging out with friends and especially our wonderful family.
