Donau Gemeinde Christi (Protestant Church)
Religious/Cultural Resources
https://www.donaugemeinde.at/welcome#visit-us
A former IES Student recommended this church. Here is what she wrote about it:
“The community is incredible and very open and loving. There are a lot of refugees at the church as well, and the service is in English and German. Songs and prayers also sometimes take place in Farsi, Spanish, Albanian, Romanian, etc. depending on who attends that particular week. I highly recommend this church to anyone this coming semester! (Have them say that Grace and Isaiah’s school sent them.)”
Meetings are held weekly in various house groups. Contact them via email for more info.
