The IBC (International Baptist Church) Bremen has its roots in an English speaking church serving American military personnel stationed in Osterholz -Scharmbeck. In 1991, as the military was withdrawn back to the United States, the church ministries began to focus on the growing International presence in the city of Bremen. The work began through the guidance of Southern Baptist Missionaries conducting services once a month. Over the recent years Sunday worship services meet weekly. Wednesday Bible studies and prayer meeting have a growing attendance. Many of the congregations African believers meet regularly on Saturdays for intercessary prayer time. Since 1991 IBC Bremen has had over forty nationalities represented. On any Sunday there will be upwards of seventeen nations represented in the worship. The IBC fellowship is a friendly and open congregation pursuing opportunities for worship and Christian growth based on the eternal word of God. Church services are conducted in English. Music consists of a mixture of hymns and praises inspired by our international fellowship. The church enjoys the support of not only international residents but also several German families. This support is invaluable to the many international members as they learn to integrate to the German language and culture.
