In 1854, a remarkable meeting took place at Sanssouci Palace. The Prussian King met with Baptist leaders, granting them equal status among other churches in the Evangelical Alliance. This act of recognition predates the wider acceptance of Baptists in Germany. Now, let’s shift our focus to the Evangelisch-Freikirchliche Baptisten-Gemeinde in Potsdam. The Potsdam Baptist community wasn’t established until 1910. Their first church, sadly, was destroyed during the bombing of Potsdam on April 14, 1945. The Evangelisch-Freikirchliche Baptisten-Gemeinde persevered. Through a land exchange, they were able to build a new church. This second church was constructed between 1957 and 1960. It was built upon the ruins of the chapel of the Great Military Orphanage, which was also destroyed during the war. The Evangelisch-Freikirchliche Baptisten-Gemeinde continued to grow. In 1993, an extension was added to accommodate the expanding congregation. Today, the Evangelisch-Freikirchliche Baptisten-Gemeinde is a vibrant community. They offer a range of services and activities. Sunday services are held at 10:00 AM. The church is also home to various small groups and projects. These provide opportunities for fellowship and spiritual growth. The Evangelisch-Freikirchliche Baptisten-Gemeinde warmly welcomes visitors. They invite everyone to join them in worship and experience the joy of their community. They are located at Schopenhauerstraße 8.
