Bethaus Evangeliums-Christen-Baptisten zu Augsburg

Founded in 1989, the Bethaus Evangeliums-Christen-Baptisten zu Augsburg has a unique story. It began with a small group of German-speaking Christians. They gathered in the “Birkenhof” transitional home after the fall of the Soviet Union. This small group grew as more people found faith. The Bethaus Evangeliums-Christen-Baptisten zu Augsburg moved to different locations in Augsburg. Finally, in 2001, they found a permanent home at Haunstetter Straße 101. The Bethaus Evangeliums-Christen-Baptisten zu Augsburg is an independent church. It is part of the Union of Evangelical Christian-Baptist Churches in Germany. The church’s foundation rests on the Bible. This shapes both the community’s life and individual believers’ lives. The name “Evangeliums-Christen-Baptisten” reflects the church’s core beliefs. “Evangelium” emphasizes the gospel of Jesus Christ. “Christen” indicates their following of Christ. “Baptisten” refers to baptism by immersion, symbolizing a personal commitment to follow Jesus. This practice is central to joining the local church. The Bethaus Evangeliums-Christen-Baptisten zu Augsburg embraces technology. Services are streamed live online and broadcast via telephone.
