We hope you feel welcome here and settle in quickly. That\u2019s why, on the following pages, we\u2019ll be introducing ourselves and giving you an insight into our church.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re even more excited to meet you in person. It\u2019s great to have you here!<\/p>\n
The Viva Kirche Meilen is a Protestant free church and part of the Viva Kirche Schweiz church federation.<\/p>\n
We embody God\u2019s love for the people living on the shores of Lake Zurich. As a multi-generational church, we journey together to get to know God ever better, to deepen our trust in him, and to live out our faith in everyday life.<\/p>\n
Our church is currently going through a special transitional phase. The existing church building at Pfannenstielstrasse 1 in Meilen is being demolished and replaced by a new building. Completion of the new building and our move into it are scheduled for summer 2028.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We believe in Jesus Christ and that God\u2019s love is for everyone. Together, we want to get to know God better and better, grow in our faith and experience how he works in our daily lives.<\/p>\n
The Bible is the foundation of our faith. Our statement of faith is based on that of the Swiss Evangelical Alliance, which you can view via the link below.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Evangelical Alliance\u2019s Statement of Faith\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n We attach great importance to protecting the physical, emotional and psychological well-being of all people.
