The mission of the church district is to embody faith and strengthen community life. Values such as solidarity, charity and spiritual deepening are at the forefront. The church district is led by a synod, which represents the interests of the communities and performs administrative tasks[1][4].
The church district strives to create efficient synergies by bringing various institutions together under one roof. The "House of the Church" is one such project that promotes communication and cooperation between the various departments. In addition, the church district focuses on supra-local youth work and diaconal tasks that take on social responsibility and promote sustainable action[4].
The Evangelischer Kirchenbezirk Freudenstadt is a central part of the Evangelische Landeskirche in Württemberg and plays an important role in the Northern Black Forest. It is not only a spiritual support, but also an important social actor in the region[1][2].
