Whether you have been living in Scotland or Northern England for a long time, have just arrived, or are simply looking for a German-speaking community: you are warmly welcome here!
We hold services, share our faith, and foster a sense of community that spans generations and life experiences. In Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, and beyond, we come together to sing, pray, celebrate, and support one another.
We strive to be a place where people can find a sense of home, ask questions, and discover faith. You don’t need to be a member, nor do you need to have all the answers or hold specific beliefs. Feel free to drop by one of our services or events, or get in touch via email or phone. Either way – we look forward to meeting you!
We are also happy to support you during significant turning points in your life. Whether it’s a baptism, a wedding, or any other occasion calling for a service, please feel free to reach out to us – even if you have had no prior contact with our community.
We look forward to seeing you!
We are a German-speaking congregation affiliated to the Protestant Church of Germany (Evangelische Kirche Deutschland).
Our extended parish covers all of Scotland and North East England, and comprises two congregations: a congregation in Scotland - with sub congregations in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen - and a congregation in Newcastle upon Tyne. Our minister is based in Edinburgh.
Although we are reformed congregations, following the Presbyterian system, our members and ministers come from different denominational backgrounds – reformed, Lutheran, united. We even have some Catholic members. This gives our congregations an ecumenical spirit. What unites us is our common language and culture – a chance to worship in our mother tongue. We welcome people of all language abilities.
In our congregations we offer regular services in German, and occasional ecumenical services in English in association with neighbouring local churches. Some of our larger congregations have a regular programme of events. Further information can be found on the individual city pages. Since 2020, we also offer online services and events.
