When the EPP church in Marseille was founded in 2006 we wanted to make this project more than a local assembly. Our dream was to launch a church planting movement that would become a wave in France, Europe and beyond.

In our hearts this movement did not take the form of a denomination, because this framework too often seemed restrictive, preventing the local church from developing freely with real autonomy. On the other hand, we did not envision a network solely built on relationships without reciprocal commitments. The Crossing Waves network defines itself as a cooperative of churches.
