Our Pastors
Simon & Sara Spalinger were both born in 1981. One of them is a few days older and also thinks they are a tiny bit wiser! Simon grew up as a missionary kid in Peru, while Sara grew up in a small village outside of Zurich. Both are teachers by profession and still work as teachers.
Since they got married their hearts beat for one another and God. In 2008, shortly after they got married, they left for Sydney, where they attended the C3 Church Bible College.
While in Sydney, the dream to build a church in Zurich grew, and since January of 2012 they founded C3 Zurich alongside Emanuel & Hannah Häsler. Every day they are learning and developing as leaders, as C3 Zurich is developing and growing.
