The Diaconal Center Pauluskerk supports all people in Rotterdam and surroundings that cannot survive without help: Homeless people, addicts, psychiatric patients, people without residence permit, people without employment, young adults that have no guidance for the way of life and vulnerable elderly people. The base of the Pauluskerk is the importance and the ‘perspective of better’ of these people. And so everybody is more than welcome.
The open house has been called the living room of Rotterdam since the start in 1981. You can go to the open house to have a cup of coffee or tea or to eat bread for free. You could play a game or quietly read the newspaper. There is a separate smoking room. Also there are 4 computers that you can use 30 minutes. Everybody is welcome.

Pauluskerk is a church building on Mauritsweg in the center of Rotterdam . The first Pauluskerk there was taken into use in 1960 by the reformed municipality of Rotterdam (now part of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands ) and was demolished in 2007. At the same place, church activities resumed in 2013 in a new futuristic-looking building, designed by the English architect Will Alsop .
The biblical motto of the church is taken from Paul 's letter to the Romans : Conquer Evil through Good . The church was best known for the reception of people from the bottom of society, including drug addicts, homeless people and refugees, for which the church became increasingly a center from 1980 onwards - under the leadership of Reverend Hans Visser
