Freie evangelische Gemeinde

Hidden within Wuerzburg, the Freie evangelische Gemeinde pulses with a unique spirit. It’s a place where faith intertwines with everyday life, reflecting the community’s core values. The Freie evangelische Gemeinde isn’t just a building. It’s a living testament to the belief that God’s hospitality should permeate our lives and the world around us. The Gemeindeleitung, a dedicated team of pastors and elders, leads the congregation with this vision at its heart. Pastors Jan-Carsten Krämer, Jann Marek Glave, and Karsten Künzl, along with elders Max Severin, Paul-Gerhardt Schlegel, Sabine Axmann, Manuel Schmitt, and Mareike Marten, guide the community. They strive to create a welcoming space where people of all generations can connect with their faith and each other. At the Freie evangelische Gemeinde, “Gastfreundschaft,” or hospitality, has a profound meaning. It’s about being present for others in their questions, needs, and challenges. It’s also about actively shaping society and taking responsibility for the community. This commitment to social action reflects their belief that faith shouldn’t be confined to the church walls, but should extend outwards, touching the lives of those in Wuerzburg. The Freie evangelische Gemeinde is part of a larger network of faith. They collaborate with the Vereinigung Evangelischer Freikirchen (VEF), the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Christlicher Kirchen (ACK), and the Deutsche Evangelische Allianz (DEA). This interconnectedness underscores their belief in the power of collaboration and the importance of working together with other Christian communities. Central to their identity are the principles of being Christ-centered, passionate, team-oriented, supportive, authentic, appreciative, creative, and growth-minded. These values form the bedrock of their community and inform their interactions with each other and the wider world. The Freie evangelische Gemeinde embraces its role in Wuerzburg, aiming to make God’s hospitality tangible in the city. Their open invitation extends to everyone, welcoming those seeking answers, connection, and support.
