Support the church plant
Partner with us
Help us plant a new English-speaking Church of England congregation in Paderborn — a spiritual home for people who are far from home.
Adam & Ruth
We are moving to Paderborn to make this happen
The Revd Adam & the Revd Ruth Pyrke
In October 2026 we relocate to Paderborn, and in January 2027 we launch the first services of All Saints. Between now and then there is a church to gather, relationships to build, a venue to secure, and foundations to lay.
Partnering with us financially provides a stipend for the two of us — enabling us to live in Paderborn, give ourselves fully to this work, and build something that lasts. Your gift, one-off or regular, helps this new church take root.
What your partnership makes possible
More than funding a service — planting a spiritual family

- Discipleship for adults and young peopleHelping people encounter Christ, grow in faith, and belong to a church family.
- Hospitality and a warm welcomeTables, homes and gatherings where newcomers quickly feel they belong.
- Training local lay leadersRaising up preachers, pastoral carers and musicians so the church can stand strongly for the long term.
