MITTENDRIN COTTBUS
Mittendrin Cottbus is a church project in the beautiful city of Cottbus. We want to contribute to the flourishing of our city, and it is our hope that the beauty of God would be displayed here.
Mittendrin is a new, protestant church project in the centre of Cottbus, right in the midst of things, just as the German word implies. Together we want to explore the Christian faith, share experiences, and connect our beliefs to everyday life. As a group of Christians and people who are interested in faith we want to be involved in the Cottbus community, contributing to society.
The Beauty of God
As a church we dream of being part of a city that is flourishing and where the beauty of God is displayed. A place where people find acceptance, where they discover direction and purpose, and where they experience the freedom that comes through the good news of Jesus Christ.
The Beauty of God
Captivated by the good news of Jesus Christ as a church we want to…
… be a true community where everyone is welcome.
… contribute to the flourishing of Cottbus.
… be a church for people who have had little or nothing to do with God, faith or church.
… take steps closer to Jesus together.
… be family friendly.
… inspire, shape and start other new church projects.

Our Foundation
The Bible
When seeking the best and most helpful information, one goes to the most reliable sources. We believe that God has given the Bible as his word to humanity. This is the foundation of our faith, our life, and this church project.
The Good News of Jesus Christ
The Good News of Jesus Christ
The good news of Jesus Christ is at the heart of Christianity, and therefore our beliefs. It is the fantastic message that God loves us unconditionally and takes a personal interest in us. This shapes our identity, and fills our lives with hope and freedom.
Living to Honour God
We believe that the greatest thing we can live for is to honour God. This means is that our lives are centred not primarily on ourselves, but on God and other people, trusting that at the same time we personally will not come up short.
Prayer
Prayer is a personal conversation with God. It’s where we experience Him and get to know Him. We believe prayer has the power to transform today.
Our Story so far
In April 2018, two families moved to Cottbus to start the project and since November 2018 a group of 15 people now meet regularly to develop a vision of a church that speaks to today’s society and the people here in Cottbus. The church project is led by two pastors, Aaron Köhler and Tobias Klement.
