Welcome to Our
Family of Faith
A Humble Beginning
The spiritual journey of the Cologne Church began on April 16, 1995. Our beginning was humble, as we initially gathered in the homes of a few believers. Despite these small beginnings, our hunger for the Word of God was immense. This period of prayer and fellowship in homes laid the foundation for our growth. As God opened more doors, we transitioned to meeting in smaller halls.
From a Migrant Church to a Settled Community
In the early years of our history, our church primarily served as a spiritual haven for students and migrants who had come to Germany for studies or temporary stays. Many members would return to their home countries after completing their education, yet the church persisted in faithfully sowing the Word of God. Through God's grace, this dynamic has evolved over time. Today, our church has transformed into a stable and deep-rooted community of permanent residents. After 21 years of faithful fellowship, this stability led to our formal registration as Äthiopische Evangelische Gemeinde Köln Mühlheim e.V. at the District Court of Cologne (Amtsgericht Köln) under the registration number VR 19124 on November 24, 2016. This transition has provided the church with greater stability, expanded our ministries, and allowed us to build a strong foundation for the coming generation.

Perseverance Through Trials
The history of our church has not been without its challenges. Over the years, our journey has been marked by various obstacles and difficult circumstances. However, these trials served as tools to refine our faith and allow us to experience God’s faithfulness firsthand. Because the Lord has sustained us with His grace through every hurdle, our church stands today on a firm foundation.
