GERMAN MINISTRY

Welcome to Washington’s historic German Protestant congregation!

Most of our German congregants have established their families in the United States and value their German heritage. Others are part of our congregation because they study German and are interested in German culture.

The German Ministry at The United Church helps you connect with other German speakers who understand the joys and challenges of living a life between different cultures. We conduct services a traditional worship service in German twice a month and celebrate bilingual baptisms, weddings, and memorials.

We take great pride in our beautiful sanctuary that is filled with keepsakes of our rich German-American heritage. Many windows have memorials written in German and our baroque style organ was built by the German firm of Alfred Fuehrer in 1980.

We see ourselves as part of the wider German speaking community in the city and contribute to the many cultural activities and we are open to all people interested in our Christian Protestant tradition.
