Who we are

Shaping the church together - just, peaceful, inclusive.
We support Partner churches worldwide to get involved - in society, for people, for creation. For us, the Gospel is not a private matter. It has something to say. To everyone.

What happens here has an effect there.
We combine what belongs together: the experiences of people in our projects with the commitment of church members in the Switzerland and France. Exchange creates change - concretely, together, genuinely.

Faith that acts.
In the Methodist tradition, faith means taking responsibility. For justice. For peace. For the preservation of creation. Not someday - but now.

Together, not next to each other.
Social responsibility knows no boundaries. We give everyone a voice - especially those who are otherwise not heard.

Listen first. Then learn. Then act.
We don't come with ready-made solutions. We listen, develop projects together - and rely on the knowledge of local people.

At eye level.
We don't want power imbalances, we want partnership. That's why we reflect on our actions, learn and break new ground - always together.
