About Evangelisch Freikirchliche Gemeinde Kreuzberg

Formed in the late 1960s from two house groups in West Berlin, this Baptist congregation moved to Bergmannstraße in 1985 and became independent in 1990. Its worship is informal and open to the gifts of the Spirit, and it includes a sizeable group of Iranian Christians and members of many nationalities.

The church started the social project Breakout, which runs a youth club and a non-profit café giving young adults and refugees job training. It also offers Alpha courses, small groups, family breakfasts and a winter parent-and-child café.
