About
Making Heaven More Crowded
Our Story
Several years ago, the Lead Pastor of Red Rocks Church, Shawn Johnson, began taking yearly trips to encourage pastors and church planters in Europe. After passionately exhorting leaders that they should simply try and see what God can accomplish, he felt that God might be asking him to do the exact same thing.
After traveling to various cities throughout Europe, the team landed on Brussels, Belgium. Here was a city where the nations gathered; this convergence of Belgian nationals, military families, international students, and expats seemed like the ideal place for an English-speaking church to find a home. In 2016, Red Rocks Denver sent 4 staff members to Belgium to plant a church at St. John’s International School, where the church finally launched on October 2, 2016.
The Brussels Team
Meet the Red Rocks Brussels Team! A group of friends who are passionate about Jesus, people, and the church and believe God is up to something in Europe! What started as a crazy dream many years ago in Denver has turned into an international family. As a team, they are proud to be living proof that if God can use them, He can use anyone. Combining their love for culture, travel, and faith the team works together to make Heaven more crowded by serving and celebrating the city of Brussels.
Vanille Vancutsem
Red Rocks Kids
Born in Belgium and raised in a Christian family, Vanille always knew that God had called her to work with the youngest among us. She pursued her calling by becoming a preschool teacher and gained valuable experience in an international school, leveraging her fluency in English, French, and Flemish.
In 2018, Vanille began attending Red Rocks Church in Brussels and quickly became a dedicated volunteer within the kids ministry. Now supporting the kids ministry, her radiant vision is to share the Good News with as many children as possible, both within and beyond the church walls.
Outside of her ministry, Vanille enjoys indulging in ice cream and exploring new destinations through travel. However, her greatest joy comes from spending cherished moments with her daughter, Céleste, and her beloved husband, Jonathan.
Jack Davies
Worship & Production
Born and bread in the U.K., Jack is the only one that says and spells things a strange way. He’s our in-house tech geek, and loves nothing more than to ponder a technical problem that needs solving for church. He’s a big Dave Ramsey fan and will find any excuse to talk about him. Jack loves watching rugby and laughing at silly social media videos.
Christophe Leclercq
Campus Leader
Christophe is the Campus Leader of Red Rocks Brussels. While the campus is actively searching for a campus pastor, Christophe has answered the call to temporarily oversee the Brussels campus. With extensive experience in business, Christophe is also one of the founders of 2B4, a ministry whose goal is to organize Christian music concerts to spread the gospel in Belgium. Known for his servant heart, Christophe has met God powerfully, fueling his dedication to serving others through his various endeavors.
