Join Us in fellowship
Open Invitation
We offer mostly two Worship Services on a Sunday morning at 09:00. In the Church we host either a German or an English Traditional Services, and the English Contemporary Service in the Conference Centre.
All Church Festivals (Easter, Pentecost and Christmas) as well as other important days (Good Friday, Eternity Sunday, Confirmation, Harvest Festival, etc.) are bilingual. The bilingual services have been very popular and have increased in number in recent years. In our services, bilingual means: Hymns, readings, liturgy and prayers are 50-50 English-German, and sermons are either completely or predominantly English.
Some of these festivals may be a Combined Service where the English Contemporary join in. These are generally celebrated with a collaboration in music between the brass band, worship team, choir and organists.
Holy Communion is offered once a month in each of the three major Services: Deutsch, English Traditional and English Contemporary.
Our Mission
We Believe...
In the New Testament, there are five things we are asked to do just as they were done to us:
- Love one another as I have loved you (John 15:12).
- Accept one another as Christ has accepted you (Romans 15:7).
- Forgive one another as the Lord forgave you (Colossians 3:13).
- Be merciful/gracious, just as your Faith in heaven is merciful/gracious (Luke 6:36)
- The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve. So, it should also be with you: who wants to be the greatest among you, must be a servant (Mark 10:43-45).
God did all the above for us through Jesus Christ on the cross. And we are called to do likewise.
