OUR COMMUNITY
Black Forest Christian Fellowship has been part of the English-language community of Kandern, Germany, for over 25 years. We began as a way for Black Forest Academy to provide Sunday morning fellowship and worship for the staff and students of this school.
As time went on other English-speaking families living in the Kandern area began to take part in the services as well. In recent years a number of other English-speaking internationals from the surrounding areas of the Black Forest; Basel, Switzerland; and the French Alsace have made BFCF their church home.
