Who we are
We are a community of people of all age groups, who want to change the world by carrying gods love in their hearts.
We understand our community as a part of the Lutheran Church, and everyone is welcome.
Many of our members are actively contributing in the work of the surrounding lutheran churches.
Our roots date back to the seventies. At that time we met as a youth group of the Lutheran Churches from Jochsberg, Auerbach and Frommetsfelden.
Out of that developed the ministry we see today. The „Verein zur Förderung von geistlichem Gemeindeaufbau, Mission und Sozialwesen“ (GMS) is a NGO and was founded 1986.
Our goals
We are community that accepts people as they are and can we celebrate their uniqueness.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is the basis of all our descision making and acting.
Our Values
Realationships: We invest in personal relationships between people and god.
Generations: All generations are important to us and we want to live a community life.
Teamwork: We work in teams and support each other.
Life: We support people with their questions about life and in times of need.
Lifestyle: We are of the opinion that our faith needs to be part of our personal life (family, education, neighbourhood, job, politics and sparetime).
Networking: We are part of the Lutheran Church, the local network of Christians, in the Church of North Bavaria and with Mission Projects world wide.
Jesus: Our actions are based on the gospel of Jesus Christ.
