Churches and Religious Activities
Expatriates living in Germany should have little difficulty having their religious and fellowship needs met. And the Internet is the best place to find locations of a church, mosque or synagogue closest to you.
Since English is the most widely used language in the western world, it is logical that there should be English-language churches throughout continental Europe, including Germany. Hence the many native English speakers here, especially those in the large cities and those near British and American military bases, should have no trouble finding a suitable place of worship. If you live near a base, a call to the chaplain's office probably will get you information on religious activities.
The website of St. Thomas More Catholic Community in Bonn has a downloadable list of English speaking Catholic churches in Germany. The address is www.stmbonn.de. Click on the "Links" on the left hand side.
Probably the most extensive on-line listing of services in Germany is provided by the International Baptist Convention at www.ibc-churches.org/churches/churches.
The United Methodist Church in Germany has a website at www.unitedmethodist.de.
For some Lutheran, and non-denominational Protestant churches try www.internationalcongregations.net/NIC_Europe.html.
Anglicans can try the links to churches in Germany at www.europe.anglican.org/map/content_germany.htm and for a listing of two fellowships of the Church of God in Christ try www.cogicgermany.com.
There is a large Muslim population in Germany and a large number of mosques. The German word for mosque is Moschee. The website www.islam.de can locate mosques by city. Click on "Moscheeadressen." The mosques often represent a country and services are usually conducted in the language of that country.
A good online source for locating a synagogue is www.kosherdelight.com. This is the website of a weekly Jewish Online Magazine and has extensive directories.
There is a Bahá'í House of Worship near Frankfurt/Main in Hofheim-Langenhain. For more information on services and hours go to www.bahai.de.
