Open Heart Church, a BUS supported church plant in Ukraine
On January 10, 2021, before the start of the war, Pastor Yuri Fedoruk planted a new church in Zolotonosha, a town in the Cherkasy region.
The mission of ‘Open Heart’ Church is to help everyone to open their hearts toward God’s love, and to become His disciple and a member of His family.
The leaders team consists of 8 persons and has been growing ever since.
The Baptist Union of Scotland has been supporting Open Heart Church and we receive regular updates from Pastor Yuri Fedoruk, sharing about the church, their community, their challenges, their growth and the deep love of God being nurtured in his disciples there.

Update Jan-June 2024
At BUS it has been incredibly inspiring to hear all that God is doing through Open Heart Church in Ukraine, and as a network of Scottish Baptist Churches we are delighted to continue supporting this church plant as they develop and grow.
There is so much more captured by Pastor Yuri in their full update report, including photos and further video links, which we would encourage you to read and share with your churches.
You can find the full update here:
…” It is precisely at this time that God called me to be a church planter; it is precisely at this time that Open Heart Church began its existence, to serve our city in a special way. And even despite all the challenges, limitations, and difficulties, we believe that we are here for just such a time as this….”
