About Christuskirche
The Christuskirche is home to the United Methodist congregation of Berlin-Kreuzberg, with around 100 members plus friends. Its roots lie in the Evangelische Gemeinschaft, which began holding services in Berlin in 1888 and built this church on Dieffenbachstraße in 1906; its restored organ still fills the hall.
As a "church in the Kiez" it welcomes everyone, opens its rooms to civic and neighbourhood initiatives, and co-hosts interreligious days in the Graefekiez. Music plays a big role in Sunday worship, and weekday groups range from Bible talks to an audio-cinema evening.
