About us

A church that confesses Jesus Christ

Das Evangelium e.V. is an evangelical church in Dortmund. The Bible is the foundation of all our thinking and acting. Our task is to spread the full Gospel of Jesus Christ, whom we confess as Lord and Saviour of the world.

Foundation

The Bible as our foundation

Everything we believe, teach and do is grounded in Holy Scripture. It shapes our services, our pastoral care and our life together – and it is the standard by which we let ourselves be measured.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.
Romans 1:16
