The Messianic Center
In 2006, the Mission fulfilled a long-held dream for a Messianic center in Berlin. The Berlin Messianic Center was the first building dedicated to Jewish evangelism in Germany—and perhaps in all of Europe—since World War II. Beit Sar Shalom Ministry, the German global partner of Chosen People Ministries, acquired a property just a fifteen-minute drive from where Nazi officials issued “The Final Solution” for the extermination of the Jewish people in Europe. The work in Berlin includes a Messianic congregation, which meets in the Messianic Center. In addition to regular Sabbath services, the ministry team holds weekly Bible studies, an active youth group, and well-attended special events, particularly during the high holidays and Passover.
Ministry in Germany Today
Berlin attracts many Israelis every year. To seize the opportunity, we pioneered a ministry among Israelis in 2012. Our dynamic outreach today features a hospitality network, Sabbath fellowships, and friendship ministries. Traveling young Israelis are especially open to the gospel and hungry to learn more about Jesus!
Beit Sar Shalom also serves in twenty other major German cities, including Munich, Düsseldorf, and Frankfurt. Ministry activities include planting Messianic congregations, street outreach, discipleship, theological education, and, most recently, Ukrainian refugee relief. In Berlin and other cities, Beit Sar Shalom hosts training to teach Jewish and Gentile believers to proclaim the gospel among Jewish people.
