Göteborg - Gothenburg
Göteborg is the second-largest city in Sweden, fifth-largest in the Nordic countries, and capital of the Västra Götaland County. It is situated by Kattegat, on the west coast of Sweden, and has a population of approximately 570,000 in the city proper and about 1 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area.
Gothenburg was founded as a heavily fortified, primarily Dutch, trading colony, by royal charter in 1621 by King Gustavus Adolphus. Gothenburg is home to many students, as the city includes the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. Volvo was founded in Gothenburg in 1927. The original parent Volvo Group and the now separate Volvo Car Corporation are still headquartered on the island of Hisingen in the city. Other key companies are SKF and Astra Zeneca.

Gud Först Göteborg
Background
Gud Först was started in 2014 when a group of 5 moved over from the UK to the amazing city of Gothenburg. Over the years since then we have seen God be faithful in all of life. That does not mean there has been no challenge, there has been plenty, but God has been faithful throughout.
As a church we have four 'distinctive' values that God has invited us to own. We are a church that love God, love Gothenburg, enjoy Gods presence, and receive grace. We want to work these values out together in community with each other.
Although we are only just at the beginning of our journey it is a privilege to read in Matthew 16 that Jesus will build his church. We get to partner with him; to share the gospel, pray for the sick, live life together - but it is Jesus who builds his church.
God absolutely loves this city, and he has commissioned us to be a people who express his love wherever he has placed us. God is not finished with Gothenburg.
