Pastor
Romeo Pop
Hi, my name is Romeo Pop. I was born in 1971, I’m married to my beloved wife, Meda, and I’m the father of five children who are all grown up now. With a heart devoted to serving, I work in the social sector and have a deep passion for helping people. Beyond my work, I love fishing and working with my hands, and I find moments of relaxation and reflection in both.
In 2010, with a clear vision, we began meeting with a small group of Christians, laying the foundations of a community united by faith. Seven years later, in 2017, I was installed as pastor of Rhema Church, devotedly taking on the mission of guiding people toward an authentic relationship with God.
I encourage people to discover and develop their talents, inspiring them to grow as leaders. I firmly believe in the power of prayer and gladly pray for healing and miracles, as a witness to God’s work in the lives of those around me. I serve out of love and with dedication, and my aim is the spiritual growth of every person I meet.

Meda Pop
My name is Meda, I’m Romanian, and I love getting to know my Heavenly Father more and more, and what He desires from me and my family. Together with Romeo, the one my heart loves, I serve at Rhema Church, ministering to the people our Heavenly Father has entrusted to us to shepherd.
I have been a wife for 39 years and am the mother of five wonderful, blessed children. I love the Lord above all else, I love my husband and my family, and I am thankful for what God has entrusted to me. I want to do what God desires and to be a blessing in the lives of those entrusted to me.

Andrea “Andy” Costea
Hallo! My name is Andrea Costea, but everyone close to my heart calls me Andy. I’m a Romanian born in Austria, which I consider a great blessing, because ever since I was little I’ve been drawn to learning several languages: German, English, Romanian, Spanish, French, and Greek.
I’ve been married for 6 years to the most extraordinary husband, Constantin Costea, and we serve together at Rhema Church. “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men” (Colossians 3:23) is the motto of our life in the church, where we serve as leaders of the youth group, in translation into English and German, in accounting, administration, and secretarial work, and also in the kitchen and wherever there’s a need. For me, it’s an honor to be part of the Rhema family!
