Welcome to the Church House (Germany) web site. This site is designed to furnish our potential users with as much information as possible in order to ensure that maximum benefit can be made of this unique institution.

Church House (Germany) is a military training establishment (run on behalf of UKSC by the Royal Army Chaplains’ Department) that is available to all British Forces’ personnel in Germany, both military and civilian, and also their dependants. Courses run here cover the entire scope of British Forces’ activity in Germany and range from those aimed at soldiers or commanders to welfare agencies or voluntary groups.

The ethos of ‘the House’ is one steeped in the long tradition of Christian hospitality and spirituality, but the purely religious component of our work is generally low-key. We aim to provide a suitable venue for all personnel – irrespective of beliefs or lack of them – and to ensure a healthy balance between study, physical recreation and social relaxation. In this way, groups who use these facilities may choose to follow a programme entirely of their own. They may, on the other hand, wish to take advantage of the many different and stimulating teaching modules offered by the Church House staff. Whichever way a course is constructed, course leaders are given plenty of practical support and attendees consequently receive an unparalleled level of hospitality, opportunity and activity.

Our evaluation systems are critical to our management of Church House (G) and all courses are fully evaluated by our users/course organisers and some of their comments are reproduced on this site. We should be grateful if you could also help us by evaluating this web site itself and telling us how useful it has been to you personally. Thank you for your help and we look forward to welcoming you to Church House (Germany).

Mission Statement
“Church House Germany is to provide a value-based and safe environment for teaching, learning and the personal growth and development of all military and civilian personnel in British Forces Germany and their dependants; it is to constitute a centre of quality, best practice and excellence that fulfils the objectives of the chain of command in its spiritual, moral and pastoral responsibilities under the auspices of the Royal Army Chaplains’ Department.”

News
Performance Results for the first Quarter of the current Financial Year show that Church House (G) is operating at extremely high levels of effectiveness (quality of provision, facilities, teaching etc) and efficiency (relative to cost). In particular the catering has achieved an outstanding endorsement. 100% of users rated the quality and delivery of food as either ‘very good’ or ‘excellent.’ Other developments include a cinema facility and a well-stocked resources centre. The latter is aimed at individual study opportunities and at resourcing chaplaincies in BFG.
