Sunday Worship

Every Sunday, 10:30am

With Sunday school for children and nursery.
The service is mostly traditional to accommodate the expectations of a German church which is rooted in the traditions of J.S. Bach and W.A. Mozart. Therefore, music plays a prominent role. 
  

Our services and most of our church events are conducted in German. 
We provide simultaneous translation of many portions of the service 
and the complete sermon on screen. 
Many events are bi-lingual for visitors not proficient in German. 
 
We are established as a church open to everyone.
 
Our mission statement notes:
 
God has called us to serve others in both the German and English languages. 
We bring the Good News that through Jesus Christ we have been made free 
and thank God for our salvation. 
We warmly invite others to join with us in sharing this message, 
living it out in our own lives and passing it on to others.
 
Since many people join us because of the German language 
we have no special emphasis on denominational issues. 
But we clearly hold up our banner as being of Methodist www.umc.org origin.  
For Holy Communion, anyone is invited who longs for unity with Christ. 
We baptize children AND adults though we do not repeat baptism. 
We focus on a personal relationship to the Risen One 
and visible discipleship in the family of God.
