Donating to the English Church Heidelberg

Donations to the church are done through the Verein der Freunde und Förderer der englischen Kirche Heidelberg e.V. (Friends and Patrons of the English Church Heidelberg). This is the recognised charity which finances our church under German law. Our church is financially independent (we receive no financial assistance through German taxes or the Church of England). We therefore encourage donations from our guests and members as they feel able. Money donated to the Verein can be deducted from taxes payable in Germany. Money may be donated through an offering during the service, a direct transfer to the bank or through a monthly pledge form. Forms for this are available at church, ask our Verein Chair, Elaine Griffiths, for one. Or you can download a copy here: Verein Application Form

Our bank account is:

Project: Hoffnung Für Uganda

For many years The English Church Heidelberg has chosen an annual project we support through regular collections, prayer, a dedicated Project Sunday Service and a display at church. Our current project focuses on young mothers in Uganda. Hope for Uganda eV works in association with the Ugandan NGO Suubi. Their mission is to give young mothers a means to break out of poverty through practical training and support. A member of our council, Junko Iwasaki, is closely involved in this project and can answer any questions or give more information.

Please support this project through prayer and funding, and take an interest in its progress at their website: Hoffnung für Uganda. You can contribute through the offering collection at the special Project Sunday Service or on any Sunday in cash to church leaders. You may also contribute by direct transfer through the bank by indicating the purpose of payment as a Hoffnung für Uganda contribution.

Brenda is 18 years old, has been a mother since she was 11, has three kids and no husband. This makes her an out cast in Uganda. But Suubi teen Mops and their German affiliate, Hoffnung für Uganda, have given her a job, a home to stay in, and hope. You can see her story at Suubi Teen MOPS Uganda.

If you would like to continue to support our previous project Medair, you can contribute directly to them through their website: Medair Lebanon.
