Welcome to

Swiss L'Abri

Huémoz

To the mountains

We emphasize a biblical, Christ-centered approach to life and learning; hospitality; cultural awareness, analysis and, where necessary, critique; growth in community with God and one another, through the power of the Spirit.

L’Abri is French for “the shelter”. For over 60 years, L’Abri has created space for people of all different backgrounds and nationalities to receive honest answers to honest questions, engage in community, and pursue truth. Many have come to study and are surprised to find rest, close bonds with others and a new perspective on culture as well. Those who call L’Abri home welcome all who walk through the door, regardless of faith or personal history, and desire to show them the love of Jesus Christ.

People come to L’Abri with a variety of questions. Some are simply trying to see whether “truth” exists at all. Others are exploring areas related to apologetics, or are trying to understand how to think about popular culture and art in light of biblical truth. Still others are seeking guidance on relationships and community living. L’Abri is a space dedicated to exploring these ideas, rooted in the firm belief that questions and problems regarding God and faith can be discussed rationally, without having to resort to a leap in the dark.
