Frankfurt is home to people from all over the world, and we strive to be as well.
If you are an immigrant or expat looking for a welcoming spiritual community that centers peace, justice, and joy and a place to practice your German, you will fit right into our little community.
To give you a better picture of who we are, we wrote this short introduction in English.
Since most browsers now have integrated translation features, we hope you can explore the rest of the website on your own.
We are a small, predominately German Anabaptist-Mennonite congregation, striving to be a welcoming space for all of God’s children regardless of nationality, sexual orientation, legal status, etc.
We worship on Sunday mornings, 10 am, in person at a residential building in Frankfurt Nordend (Eysseneckstrasse 54) and on Zoom.
Worship and preaching is mainly in German, but we provide a script translated into English as we are able.
When we have international guest preachers, we flip the tables and provide a written translation into German!
In German we say, „love passes through the stomach.“
So we love to eat and drink together. After worship, there is always coffee hour – often with home-made cakes. Occasionally we also have a potluck-style lunch.
This is also a great time to get to know other people!
If you are not comfortable in German, most of us speak enough English to converse – or to point you to someone who is fluent.
Our community has a surprising number of international and transatlantic connections:
- One of our pastors, Rianna, was born in Winnipeg, Canada and grew up in Fresno, California.
- She and our other pastor Benni met and fell in love at the Mennonite World Conference Assembly in Pennsylvania and studied together at Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Indiana.
- Many of our members have lived abroad for voluntary service, or work, or are themselves from another country.
How to get here
By bike (best for you and the world):
Bike to Eysseneckstraße 54, breezing past one-way streets and traffic jams. We have plenty of space to lock up your bike.
With public transit (2nd best option):
The closest stop for the subway and the bus is Miquel-Adickesallee.
Walk past the Amt für Wohnungswesen, then turn right into Eysseneckstraße.
Number 54 is the first building after the high rise.
By car (if you have to):
Turn right from Adickesallee into Falkensteiner Straße, then right again into Kleeberger Straße and finally right into Eysseneckstraße to arrive right at the church.
Alternatively, turn right into Eysseneckstraße and park on the other side of the street.
Street parking is free on the weekend, but it is very limited.
We don’t have any parking available on our property.
