Help & support



Life has its ups and downs – and as a church family, we go through both together. We celebrate together in the good times and are there for one another in challenging moments.

We want to see, listen to, and support one another – in very practical ways, through conversation or prayer. Whether you need someone to talk to or are looking for help with everyday life: you don’t have to go through it alone.

Or maybe you’re currently planning your wedding: we’re here to support you then, too, and would love to help you figure out who can perform your wedding ceremony.

Our Pastoral Care Team is happy to take the time to meet with you and help determine who can best support you in your current situation.

Prayer

Prayer is our heartbeat. We believe that God still speaks, acts and changes hearts today. That is why we offer you a variety of opportunities and concrete spaces for prayer – in church services, in small groups and at special prayer meetings. Here you can encounter God personally, open your heart, stand up for others and receive new strength for your everyday life. Whether quietly in personal prayer or together in faith – we want to live a culture in which trust grows, miracles are possible and Jesus is at the center.
