We are a community of 16 German-speaking Protestant congregations in England, Scotland, and Wales. We meet between Cardiff and Cambridge, Aberdeen and Bournemouth for German-language services, to celebrate traditions like St. Martin's lantern processions, and to live our shared Christianity in a vibrant community.

Our congregations are served by six ordained pastors, each of whom is responsible for several congregations. In addition to regular worship services, including Holy Communion and children's services, we celebrate baptisms, weddings, and funerals.

We see ourselves primarily as a church, but we also offer a broad German-language cultural program and traditional festivals for all ages, both in person and online. Most of our members are German-speaking people living permanently or temporarily in the UK, but we also welcome a large number of family members, friends, and members from countries all over the world. This diversity enriches and strengthens our community.

We work closely with the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD).

We have close economic ties and work in partnership with, for example, the Council of Protestant Churches, Churches Together in England, Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, the Community of Protestant Churches in Europe, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Ireland, and the German Seamen's Mission.

The Synod is led by our team in the Synod Council (our Board of Trustees), chaired by Senior Pastor Silke Halfmann. The Synod Council is supported by paid administrative staff and numerous volunteers.
