Do you love meeting people in a unique setting? Join our friendly team as a volunteer and help welcome visitors to the Mozes and Aäron Church during the open afternoons. A great way to bring this special place to life and meet people from around the world!
The Mozes and Aäron Church is perhaps Amsterdam’s most famous church building, but surprisingly many people have never seen the inside. Every Thursday and Friday afternoon from 12:00 to 16:00, we open our doors to residents, tourists, and passers-by. Visitors are welcome to come in for a moment of peace, inspiration, prayer, or simply to admire the rich art and architecture.
What will you do?
Together with a fellow volunteer, you will warmly welcome visitors, provide information about the church, its artworks and activities, and ensure a pleasant and safe atmosphere. The church offers a wealth of sights, from the impressive Baroque high altar with a painting by Jacob de Wit, to the beautiful pulpit by Antwerp sculptor Jean Baptiste de Cuyper, and the monumental Adema organ built in 1871. You’ll meet people from all over the world – no afternoon is the same!
