Welcome to HIC

About HIC
As an international congregation in Hamburg, Germany, our calling is to Encounter God, Grow Community and Live Missionally.
(You can read more about HIC´s vision and values here)
Hamburg International Church is a small but growing Christian community with a strong focus on children and young people.
We are an intercultural, English speaking church with members from various denominational backgrounds, and are affiliated with the United Methodist Church.
PLEASE NOTE:
We have recently moved to our NEW LOCATION at Eimsbütteler Chaussee 67 and we have also have a new time of 9.30am every Sunday.
We warmly invite you to join us on Sundays at 9.30am for our Worship Service!
We would love to welcome you next Sunday. We hope to see you soon!
What to expect at HIC?
We hope you feel at home in our vibrant and welcoming church family.
Our worship services last a little over an hour.
Please come as you are. There is no dress code!
We worship in English with a mix of traditional and modern music.
Children are very welcome to stay in the service, or are invited to go downstairs to Kids Church.
Once a month we take Communion together at the end of our Worship Service. All are welcome to participate.
Pastor Edgar Lüken lived and ministered in Africa for 11 years before arriving in Hamburg in 2015.
Having served in an international City Mission Church in Windhoek, Namibia and after (literally) building churches in Malawi he comes with a deep understanding for intercultural challenges.
Encountering the greatness of God in the diversity of people is his passion.
He is married to Inke Johannsen and they have two children, aged 12 and 15. Edgar enjoys hot summer days, canoeing, vintage cars, football, glamping, and is a chocolate addict…
