Who are we?
Established in December 2007, New Hope
Fellowship provides English Language Worship every Sunday. Our congregation has come from South
Korea, Germany, Iran, and Brazil, Taiwan, Austria, USA, China, Australia, South
Africa, Great Britain, Czech Republic, Ireland, Mongolia, Canada and Belarus.
We are students, families, singles, and couples. We are short-term and
long-term residents of Germany, as well as ‘just visiting.’
We welcome children in worship on Sundays,
and provide a special space for the young with us.
We are United Methodist from
the tradition of John
Wesley,
and are part of a world-wide Christian denomination that is present in Germany
with some 60,000 German-speaking members in about 500 churches. (The “EmK” - Evangelisch-methodistische
Kirche)
We support missions in
“Central Asia” and Africa, and have responded to the world’s natural disasters
through the denominational missions program, The Advance for Christ and His Church and its German counter-part, Welt Mission.
If English is your first, or best
“second” language, we would invite you to come and join us in worship and study!
(Every Sunday @ 10:00 AM)
What’s New?
- We continue with our worship time of 10:00 AM and our style of integrating
with the German-speaking Methodist folks at Christuskirche,
our host congregation. The idea includes beginning
together in both languages for some singing,
prayers, and visual theme setting, and then
to separate to continue with the sermon and intercessory prayer in our own best languages. That way we
can also share in fellowship and coffee/tea after worship together.
- Remember,
Worship will begin at 10:00 AM upstairs in the main sanctuary until
January 15.
- After the first of the year we have revised our worship pattern, still meeting every Sunday, but having a traditional worship with Communion only on the first Sunday’s of the months. During the other Sundays of the month we will focus more on interactive and participatory study of the Bible and Christian Living. These Sundays we are emphasizing a more informal and casual approach (blue jeans are fine) and we will have coffee, tea, and some snack during our time together. On these study Sundays we will not meet with the German congregation for the opening, but come directly to the Green Salon at the 10:00 hour. When we have traditional worship, we will meet first upstairs for the opening together. A monthly theme chart will be printed ahead of time so that everyone can think a bit about the theme. There will be prayer and one song each time. We hope to attract people who might be seeking to find out more about the Christian faith and understanding from other faith perspectives. We will also have regular worship on the “special” Sundays – Pentecost, etc.
