Wer ist BIEC?

English-speaking
Although we come from many different countries and speak a variety of languages, we have chosen to worship the Lord in our common tongue -- English.

Evangelical
We emphasize the Bible as the Word of God and preach and teach the Good News of personal salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, God's Son.

Inter-denominational
As Christians, we come from many different church traditions, but we agree to concentrate on the basics of Christianity that unite us rather than divide us.

Church
We are a local part of the universal Christian church, leading our members in worship, prayer, Bible study, fellowship and outreach, and encouraging relationships with fellow Christians in all churches.
Beginnings

BIEC is an evangelical, interdenominational church serving the international English-speaking community of Bern. In December 1998, God gave us the vision to form a church that would offer Bible-based teaching, spiritual support and freedom of worship, so we started the Bern Christian Fellowship (BCF).

In April 2001 we founded a church with the new name "Bern International Evangelical Church". Our desire is to glorify God and to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18).
