One church, many ministries — for children, young people, and anyone seeking a new beginning.
Around 300 children aged 3 to 13 meet every week in twelve groups — free of charge, open to all, and led by volunteers from our church. We want to inspire children with God and His Word, and give them values, friendships and a place to belong. And every summer, around 250 children experience the big kids’ camp together.
ages 3–13 12 groups free & open to all
Youth meetings, teen ministries, singing groups and retreats: young people find direction, real friendships, and room to develop their gifts and take on responsibility in church and society.

For more than 20 years our church has walked alongside people recovering from alcohol and drug addiction — residential, holistic and rooted in faith, on an eight-hectare farm in the Black Forest. More than a hundred people have successfully completed their rehabilitation here; many now serve in the church themselves.
