The Community of Adelshofen

The Community of Adelshofen is an evangelical order of 23 celibatarian sisters and 9 celibatarian brothers who run the Lebenszentrum as institution together with several married and single staff members. Through our prayer and worship times and daily sharing of our lives with students and guests we wish to exemplify Christian love and fellowship and provide an environment where Christians can grow in love and knowledge of God. As groups and teams of the Lebenszentrum we reach out to share the Gospel and help churches in their ministry to people in need.
