A Brief History 1957 to Present
Compared to the long-established churches of Europe, the history of Immanuel Baptist Church is indeed brief. The church was founded in 1957, twelve years after the end of World War II. During those years, no English-language Baptist churches existed to serve the U.S. military forces remaining in postwar Germany. Immanuel was founded in order to meet that need. As a young growing church, Immanuel often shifted locations seeking more space for classrooms and parking. Due to this growth, the congregation needed a building of its own. Answering the call, the people of Immanuel gave sacrificially, but credit was limited with construction costs rapidly rising. A German Baptist congregation faced similar problems, so God brought us together. In 1973 the two congregations jointly built a permanent facility. What a blessing in fellowship and efficiency! In l992, as the U.S. military began minimizing its presence in Europe, the church refocused its vision and has become a “mosaic” of international believers in Christ.
