Membership in our congregations

Why become a member?

Contrary to Lutheran congregations which are resident in Germany and can rely on Church Tax contributions, the German congregations located outside Germany have to finance their expenses through voluntary contributions from their members or donations. Therefore our congregations in London-West and Oxford are dependent upon their members and their membership contributions. In addition to helping our community and making it stronger by being a member, this also  gives you the right to vote at our annual congregational meetings and thus you can actively participate and create the life of our congregation.

How do I become a member?

Please complete the membership form below. We will be in touch with you as soon as possible. Thank you very much!

How much do I pay?

You decide the amount of your contribution, it is voluntary and should be seen in relation to your means and income. A lack of funds should not prevent you from becoming a member.

If you are able to, we would be grateful if you could complete a Gift Aid Declaration for us.
