Койнонія на перетині культур: українські євангельські мігранти та євангельські церкви Польщі

This article explores the role of evangelical communities in Poland in responding to the challenges of Ukrainian forced migration following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Drawing on qualitative interviews with Ukrainian and Polish evangelical leaders, as well as an analysis of community media and social practices, the study investigates how new forms of Christian fellowship (koinonia) emerge at the intersection of cultures, languages, and ecclesial traditions. Particular attention is given to the strategies of inclusion adopted by evangelical churches, the cultural and theological tensions between Ukrainian and Polish believers, and the missionary potential of newly formed Ukrainian congregations. The findings suggest that Ukrainian evangelical communities serve not only as humanitarian actors, but also as agents of social integration and witnesses to a grassroots ecumenism. These communities reconfigure the religious landscape in Poland, offering a model of unity rooted in shared faith and practical service, rather than in institutional frameworks.
