Neuapostolische Kirche

Neuapostolische Kirche in Ochsenfurt is a Christian congregation in the Franconian town of Ochsenfurt, Bavaria. It belongs to the church district Erlangen-Würzburg within the apostle area Heilbronn-Nürnberg. Children, young people, adults and older visitors all find a place within its community life.

The congregation forms part of a movement that began in nineteenth-century Germany through developments in Hamburg. Its teachings centre on the Holy Scripture, the triune God, Jesus Christ, forgiveness, sacraments and Christ’s return. Regular Sunday and weekday services provide worship, preaching and Holy Communion for the congregation. Some weekday services alternate with the neighbouring congregation in Kitzingen. Pastoral care, blessings, funerals and religious instruction extend its work beyond worship.

Music, humanitarian aid and ecumenical cooperation connect Ochsenfurt with wider activities across the district. Young people join special services, while older members take part in outings and community celebrations. The church’s structure links local congregations with districts and larger apostle areas. A distinctive detail is the congregation’s place within a network that reaches from southern Germany far beyond Ochsenfurt.
