Vision
Vision
The doctrinal foundation of Gospel Church München e.V. is based on the Apostles’ Creed. The following FIVE POINTS give you an idea of what we consider particularly important.
Gospel (“Good News!”)
“Gospel” (literally, “Good News!”) is the central message of the Christian faith: None of us is nearly as perfect as we think, and there is more sin in our lives than we can ever imagine. The “Good News,” however, is that we can be loved and accepted by God more than we could ever have dreamed, because Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again.
In short: God’s grace is greater than our worst
Life with God
God created us to live with Him and for Him. The “Good News” of Jesus Christ not only helps us enter into a relationship with God, but it also empowers us to live joyfully with God in our daily lives. When God’s grace takes effect in our lives, we experience more and more freedom from what paralyzes us, and broken relationships can be healed and renewed.
In short: Those who live with God live a liberated and fulfilled life.
True Fellowship
Because Jesus Christ loved us first, we can live in relationships with one another that are marked by respect, love, and a willingness to help and forgive one another.
In short: God’s love helps us to love one another.
Evangelistic
We want to share the Gospel (the “Good News”) in a relevant and contemporary way. Every aspect of our church (e.g., worship services, music, sermons, small groups) is geared toward both people who are searching for God and those who are actively living for God in their daily lives.
In short: We want to share the Good News in a joyful and accessible way.
A Blessing for Munich
We want to serve peace and the well-being of the people of Munich through prayer and acts of love in word and deed. In school, college, and our careers, as well as at home, we want to glorify God through integrity, honesty, and good work. It is important to us to be a church for the people of Munich that works together with other churches and, in particular, with our daughter churches.
In short: We want to be a blessing to Munich.
