Explore Berlin

Berlin is one of Europe’s most vibrant, cosmopolitan cities. While you won’t see much Lederhosen on the U-Bahn (the city’s public transit system), you’re likely to encounter tech startups, artists, politicians and a variety of cafés—all within walking distance.

As the capital of Germany, Berlin is a city shaped by division, war, reconstruction and reunification. Its rich, complex history has created a space where creatives, professionals and outsiders alike can find belonging. During your time here, you’ll experience the diversity of Berlin up close while making a gospel impact on those who call it home.

Fewer than 2% of Berliners identify as followers of Christ. Many residents have never met a Christian. You might be the first to introduce someone to the love of Jesus. Whatever your passions and skills, bring them—Berlin needs them.

Our desire is to see this city transformed by the gospel, and we’d love for you to be part of that vision. The experience of learning to minister in a post-Christian culture is one you won’t forget.
