Evangelische Freikirche Fuldatal

Could a church have two hearts? The Evangelische Freikirche Fuldatal seems to. It beats in Ihringshausen, a part of Fuldatal near Kassel. But its rhythm resonates beyond its physical location. It pulses with the dual affiliations of the Bund Evangelisch-Freikirchlicher Gemeinden (BEFG) and the Freikirchlichen Bund der Gemeinde Gottes (FBGG). The Evangelische Freikirche Fuldatal strives to be a “Gemeinde mit Herz,” a community with heart. This translates to their focus on God, their congregation, and the wider world. Their core mission is spreading the message of Jesus Christ. They believe he is the son of God, the path to truth and life. They teach that he lived a perfect, sinless life, died for humanity, and rose again. He is seen as the bridge between God and people, ascended to heaven and destined to return in glory. The Evangelische Freikirche Fuldatal embraces those who have accepted God’s love and forgiveness. They emphasize that a relationship with God is a gift, not earned through deeds. The church guides its members to live for God’s glory. They encourage positive change in their community, society, and the world. The foundation of their faith is the Bible, both Old and New Testaments. It shapes their beliefs and actions. The Evangelische Freikirche Fuldatal encourages active participation. They believe in demonstrating their faith through living testimonies and nurturing loving relationships within the church and beyond. Membership is encouraged as a way to fully identify with the church’s mission. While formal affiliation is valued, everyone is welcome to attend services and events. The church actively collaborates with other Christian denominations and cultures wherever possible, working within the frameworks of their affiliations and the Evangelische Allianz. They strive to share God’s love and forgiveness throughout their city and region. The Evangelische Freikirche Fuldatal, with its dual affiliations, strives to be a beacon of faith. They aim to connect with both their immediate community and the world at large.
