Anskar-Kirche
The Anskar-Kirche is an evangelical free church in the heart of Hamburg, with a significant role in the city's spiritual community. Wolfram Kopfermann founded it in the 1980s, seeking a new spiritual awakening among Hamburg's Lutheran Christians. The congregation is part of the neocharismatic movement, with an evangelical and charismatic style of worship.
Sunday services blend traditional liturgy with contemporary elements, aiming to engage people emotionally and spiritually. One conviction runs beneath it all: the Bible is God's word, and the Holy Spirit is actively present. Members gather in small groups called house circles, where they study the Bible and support one another. Children's programmes, community events and theological training round out the week. The church is a member of the Association of Evangelical Free Churches and the Evangelical Alliance in Germany.
The church's mission is faith lived out in everyday life, and the message of Jesus Christ carried to others. Both sides of that mission converge in its namesake, Anskar: a monk and missionary, and the first archbishop of Hamburg and Bremen.
