The history of Baptists in Opole goes back to the 1920s, when the Wrocław church established a preaching station here. In 1927, meetings were held in an apartment at Wilhelmsplatz 4 (today’s Plac Kopernika). From 1928 to 1929, believers gathered at Kräuterstrasse 26 (now Spychalskiego Street) in the home of a man named Krumm. During the final two years of the station’s activity (1930–1931), the congregation met in an apartment at Sternstrasse 49 (today Reymonta Street).

Baptists were also present in other towns throughout the Opole region. You can read more about this history—both in the German era and in the years that followed— TUTAJ.

It was only in 2005 that the Baptist community in Opole came to life again, through the dedication of the Śnieżko, Cannon, and McMaster families. Soon after, the congregation came under the care of the Second Baptist Church in Wrocław. In 2008, the church adopted the name Wspólnota 180° (“180° Community”). The very first service was held on October 30, 2005, in the home of the McMaster family in the Grudzice district. Regular weekly services began in the fall of 2006 and took place in the Provincial Public Library at 20 Piastowska Street, where the church met until October 2009. For the following year, the gathering place was the NOT building at 50 Katowicka Street. Then, in August 2010, the community moved into a meeting space at 20 Sienkiewicza Street (rear building), where services continued.

The church’s first pastor was Paweł Kołodziejczak, ordained on June 8, 2008. On October 4, 2015, the congregation became an independent Baptist church under the name Source of Life Baptist Church (Kościół Chrześcijan Baptystów „Źródło Życia” w Opolu). Since June 2021, the church has been pastored by Grzegorz Jaeger. Over the course of 20 years, 32 people have been baptized into the fellowship of the church—a testimony to God’s grace at work in Opole.
