Where We Serve
Montpellier, France
Fastest growing city in France for the past 25 years. It is the 8th largest city in France.
​

The University is one of the oldest and longest continual working medical universities in the world.
Founded in 1160.
Montpellier is a very young city, with about 1/2 of the population under the age of 34 years.
Our Family
When we came to France sixteen years ago, we had three children in tow (ages 15, 12, and 8yrs); 10 suitcases; & one frightened gerbil. Today, we stand back and continually praise God for His faithfulness in the lives of our family as He has lead us on this unexpected adventure. And even though JD, Tiara & Ariana are following after God's leading in their own lives, the imprint they each have left here at the International Chapel will always remain.
​
In 2019, we joyfully added our precious daughter-in-law, Juliet, to our growing Coules family and we could not be more excited!
