Welcome to The English Church Heidelberg
We are an English-speaking Anglican community, a part of the Church of England, Diocese of Europe. We worship every Sunday at the Erlöserkirche (Church of the Redeemer), located at Plöck 44 in the heart of Old Town Heidelberg.
Lenten Appeal
For our Lenten Appeal, we are supporting Embrace the Middle East. They are a Christian community combatting injustice in Egypt, Iraq, Israel-Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. Especially now they are supporting families who have lost everything due to the war in Gaza. You can donate directly to Elaine (tell her it is for the Lenten Appeal) or send an online transfer with the tag line "Lenten Appeal". You can also read this very touching Christmas sermon by Rev. Munther Isaac, a trustee of Embrace the Middle East.

- First Sunday of the Month: 12 pm
- Second Sunday of the Month: 10:30 am
- Third Sunday of the Month: 12 pm

All generations are welcome. Please see young church to see our children's programs.
The church building is not fully barrier-free, as there are two small steps at the entrance. However, people needing assistance will find helpers ready to assist in any way possible. Email a the chaplain to let them know you will be attending the service and we can better serve your requests.
After the service there is opportunity to get to know each other while enjoying a cup of coffee or tea.
Many are with us just for a short time, others are long-term residents in this city and region. We come from different continents and countries, different cultures and traditions, and enjoy the diversity this brings to our church.
We welcome you to “Come and See!” (John 1, 46)
