About US

We are a bilingual, multicultural church in the north-west of Munich. We are vibrant and passionate about Jesus, His ways and what He is doing in and through our lives.

We believe that every person is unique and gifted and can make a difference. With Jesus, you can experience a life of abundance and purpose that overflows into those around you.

We live life together. Jesus the Way is so much more than just our Sunday gatherings. We have a variety of activities and outreach opportunities.

OUR HISTORY

1997

Jesus the Way Church began in 1997 as a house group in the home of Franny Bosch. Thorsten & Carla Johnson, missionaries from Calvary Chapel USA, came from Austria, where they lived, to lead this house group. Franny Bosch and Ruvini Candappa were faithful hosts of this house group and led it with commitment, prayer and love. Later they moved out of Franny's house into a building on Käferlohestraße.

2003

In 2003, the group, which consisted of around 40 people, moved to its current premises in Waldmeisterstrasse. This group worked very hard to renovate and refurbish the building. The biggest investment was the fire escape and the construction of a fantastic café.

2008-2016

Helmut & Veda Schneider, who came from Germany and South Africa, then took over the church in 2008 and led it until the end of 2015, bringing in great teaching on the Father heart of God, the freedom of the Spirit and the grace of God. They also began a partnership with the ministry NCMI (New Covenant Ministries International).

2016

In 2016, Rob & Bridget Forbes, who were born in Zimbabwe and South Africa, took over the leadership of Jesus the Way Church. They have a heart to see the lost saved, in Munich, in Germany and in the nations.

Through many prophetic words and with a great leadership team, they believe that God will use Jesus the Way to bring salvation and refreshing and open up wells (Genesis 26:17-22) wherever God leads us and gives us influence.

They welcome everyone to travel with them into the great future God has for us as a church.
