Integrative church service

Integrative church service

Our church services mainly consist of a time where we worship God together with songs and a biblical sermon. The service lasts around 90 minutes. God's word is interpreted in a way that is directly applicable to your life. The first part of worship is followed by an information block and the opportunity to honor God with a collection. After another time of worship, the sermon follows. After the sermon, we invite you to give God an answer; make your decision firm.

Parallel to the adult service, children and young people from babies to 8th grade celebrate an age-specific service. Our Pfimi Kids and Youth Sunday staff know how to respond to the needs of children and young people and convey the truths of the Bible to them in an age-appropriate way.

Fellowship time after the service

Fellowship time after the service

After the service we have fellowship. Our community center offers space for all generations. For the little ones, there is a toddler playground in the lounge on the middle floor. Children from the age of 4 can let off steam in the children's play area in the basement. There is also a meeting area for teenagers and young people in the basement.

We will be happy to answer your questions and help you make connections. Our host team is available at the Welcome Desk on the middle floor.
We look forward to meeting you.
