Who is Eckstein?

Eckstein – Cornerstone embodies everything we live and aim for, for Jesus Christ is the true cornerstone and savior of the world (Eph. 2:19-21) who was foretold even in the Old Testament (Ps. 118:22-23). He is the cornerstone on which the entire house, God’s church, is set (1 Peter 2:6). He is the savior and lord over everything, to whom we offer all worship and honor (John 14:6, Romans 11:36). We pray that you would worship the one true God and Lord with us and glorify him alone.

Church – means all those believers, the saints, who have been saved through God’s grace (Acts 11:26). The church is the body of the Lord (1 Cor. 12:13) which is joined and bound together in love (1 Cor. 12-14) so that all believers grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ (Eph. 1:22-23, 4:11-16). The goal of the body, the church, is firstly to love God, but also to love one’s neighbor (Mt. 22:37-40). We pray that you would exalt the name of the Lord together with us as a member of his church.

Berlin – is the capital of Germany and a multicultural center. This city embodies a postmodern metropolis which needs nothing more than the gospel, the good news, of the redeemer, Jesus Christ (Mt. 5:14-16). This is also the goal of Eckstein: We want to let the gospel and the truth of the bible shine in the center of Berlin so that people repent and surrender their lives to the one true savior, Jesus Christ, and live to his glory (Mt. 28:18-20, John 8:12, 2 Cor. 5:11-17). We pray that you would more and more come to know Jesus Christ as your personal savior with us and follow him all your life.

Foundation

Eckstein is a church plant in the heart of Berlin with the goal and the purpose of bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to the capital’s center.

The first Eckstein service took place on 18th September, 2016.
Eckstein was sent out from the Evangeliums-Christen Gemeinde Berlin-Hellersdorf (ECG) in connection with our partner churches in the USA, the Grace Community Church (GCC), in Los Angeles, CA, and the Faith Bible Church (FBC), in Murrieta, CA.

If you would like to know more about us, visit the section Gottesdienst to get a brief glimpse of what our Sunday service looks like or the section Dienste, which explains what happens at Eckstein throughout the week.

We look forward to being able to welcome you soon at Eckstein.
