Our Services
Services are generally held on the Second Sunday of each month at 11:00 with exceptions made to accommodate holiday time or visiting ministers.
These meetings are held at "Im Lohnhof 8", just up the hill from Barfüsserplatz, or a short walk from the Musikakadamie tram stop of the number 3 tram. Walk past the fountain, bear right past the old church, proceed through the arch; find us to the right on the ground floor below Centrepointe.
There will also be children's programming available. If you plan to bring your children, it would help our coordinators to know in advance how many children and what ages to expect. If you plan to bring your children, please send us an email.
