German Ministries

Die Vereinigte Kirche ist eine lebendige Kirche, in der sich das schöpferische Wirken Gottes zeigt. Wir glauben an Gott, den Vater, den Sohn und den Heiligen Geist, der sich in den Geschichten und Worten der Bibel zu erkennen gibt. Unser Glaube ist Grundlage für unser Handeln.

  • Wir machen uns auf den Weg zu den Menschen.
  • Wir sind offen und einladend.
  • Wir feiern lebendige Gottesdienste.
  • Wir begleiten die Menschen.
  • Wir machen uns für Menschen stark.
  • Wir machen Menschen Mut zum Glauben.
  • Wir laden zu aktiver Mitgestaltung und Beteiligung ein.

Since the founding of Concordia Church (one of our parent churches) in 1833, ministries to the German-speaking people of the Washington metro area have found a home in Foggy Bottom. On every first and third Sunday, old and young alike gather for German language worship services at 9:30am. We worship in the tradition of the evangelisches Landeskirchen, using the Evangelisches Gesangbuch. Our organ is from northern Germany and adds authenticity to our worship. A part-time Pastor for German Ministries leads these services, as well as provides pastoral care and nurture to the German-Americans in our congregation. A German-language Bible study meets at 7pm on the first Monday of each month. We often host traveling German musicians and choirs. The Washington Saengerbund, a German chorus, sings a popular Christmas concert at the church each year.
