Our board
Hartmut Kraft , Pastor, Board Member and Head of the Working Group "Proclamation"
In this working group, we think together about how we can bring the liberating message of Jesus Christ closer to people in our church services and other events.
Jedidiah M. Harris , community representative, lay preacher, board member and head of the "Public Relations" working group
Only when the church reaches out to the world can it have a broad impact. In this working group, we shape our message to all people who are interested in knowing who we are. In this working group, we reflect together on how we can bring the liberating message of Jesus Christ to people in our worship services and other events.
Volker Schenk, Chairman of the Board and Head of the "Finance" Working Group
The Evangelical Methodist Church is a free church, meaning we do not receive church tax and are financed exclusively through membership fees and donations. Therefore, careful financial management is particularly important. That is the focus of this working group.
Thomas Lux , lay preacher, member of the board and head of the working group "Migration"
We call all people in our church brothers and sisters. Many come from hardship and persecution. They come from distant lands and are now with us in our community. Here they should find a home. Making this possible is the task that Christ sets for us. This work is a distinctive characteristic of our international church. This is the task of this working group.
Petra Reil, member of the board and head of the working group "Planning"
Every church service, every event, and every celebration is unique and must be organized anew each time. Every person who visits us should feel that this is a special place, a special group of people, and above all: here is Christ!
Michael Witczak, member of the board and head of the working group "House and Technology"
The church building is our home and place of well-being. In this working group, we address the structural aspects of the church to ensure that this place is preserved.
Melissa Witczak, member of the board and head of the working group "Music and Art"
Christ can be experienced by us not only through the spoken word, but also through music, images, and design. In this working group, we focus on the musical and visual design of our events.
