The Evangelische Kirche in Hessen und Nassau (EKHN) is one of the 20 Protestant regional churches in Germany and one of the largest united churches within the Protestant Church in Germany (EKD). With over 1.3 million members in more than 1,000 congregations, the EKHN offers a diverse engagement in areas such as pastoral care, music, education, and administration.
The EKHN stands for an open and welcoming church that places people and the gospel at its center. It adheres to the ancient church confessions and the Theological Declaration of Barmen. The church promotes diversity and inclusion, as evidenced by the blessing of same-sex couples and the equality of women in the ministry.
Although specific sustainability goals are not explicitly mentioned, the EKHN is committed to a sustainable future through its comprehensive social and ecumenical activities. The church emphasizes the importance of a strong community and promotes the personal development of its employees.
The EKHN has recently launched a new online presence that adapts to the needs of church members and covers topics such as faith formation, queer life, and music. This platform provides guides and information to support and orient the lives of its members.
