PURPOSE
WHY WE ARE HERE
Aarhus Valgmenighed works to call to people to personal faith, follow Jesus Christ and be a responsible member of the church ”(Articles of Association §3)
We want to share the good news about Jesus. Who He is and what He wants. Faith in Him is an amazing gift that opens up to the reality of God and a new life that God gives us in Him. In the church, we explore this life together through church services, communities, and fellowships, where faith is given a concrete expression in our lives.
We want to be a blessing in Aarhus, our society, and our culture by doing good together, helping, and being present both in the city, at work, on campus, and in the larger global reality.
We would like to invite followers of Jesus, whether you have wandered for a long or short time with him, to become members of the church. You can join us in taking responsibility for sharing faith and shaping it together in the 21st century.
We welcome you!
WHO ARE WE?
Aarhus Valgmenighed was officially formed in September 1990 by a group of young people and families in the Danish National Church, who wanted to be a congregation with a contemporary expression of being a relevant church in culture, and with greater freedom for charismatic worship life and mission than at that time was possible in parish churches.
We are a constituency, ie. a state church - without being a parish church. Our approx. 800 members are children, young people and adults from the entire Aarhus area.
Since its inception, Aarhus Valgmenighed has been part of "Danish Oasis", which works for charismatic renewal, equipment and mission both in and outside the Danish National Church.
