The new and final issue of community for 2025 is ready. It features a colourful mix of impulses, stories, and news from around the New Apostolic world.
‘Mache dich, mein Herz, bereit’ (Prepare yourself, my heart) – a 300-year-old classic. But what rang out shortly before the Pentecost service was anything but outdated: a moving, contemporary piece that took the audience right to the heart of the action.
A small light with great power, a gentle voice with a great impact: District Apostle Michael Deppner from the DRC Congo West spoke about seeing and listening closely during the Pentecost service. Here is the video clip.
The end of confusion and the beginning of understanding … During the Pentecost service, Apostle Helge Mutschler called on the congregation to speak to everyone in their own language. Here is the video.
During the celebration of Holy Communion, Jesus Christ is in the midst of the congregation as the crucified, risen, and returning Lord. What sounds so theological was made tangible by the Chief Apostle on Pentecost.
A feast that will stay: Pentecost 2025 has left deep impressions and provided an outlook for the future. Here is an overview of everything there is to know.
The decibels just rushed through the rows, but the locally reinforced Youth Celebration Choir could also sing softly. Here is the song “Lord, I stretch my hands to You” from the Pentecost service 2025 to enjoy again and again.
Before the real highlight began, the Pentecost service, a video looked back on the events of the 2025 Pentecost gathering thus far, showing clips from the arrival of the Apostles, the concert, and the District Apostle Meeting.
Knowing the truth and living truthfully: this was the call made by the Chief Apostle and his new assistant during the 2025 Pentecost service in Wiesbaden, Germany.
During the Pentecost service, Chief Apostle Jean Luc-Schneider designated his successor: the assignment of Chief Apostle Helper Helge Mutschler in the video.
Chief Apostle Jean-Luc Schneider intends to retire at Pentecost 2026. He announced this during the Pentecost service in 2025, and also named his successor.
No New Apostolic Pentecost gathering has ever seen a concert like this before: the New Apostolic Church Western Germany, who hosted the event, struck a new chord with a combination of music and light, words and movement.
The congregation of Wiesbaden welcomed participants to the 2025 Pentecost Assembly by video—in practically every conceivable language. The clip, which was originally intended for the Chief Apostle and the District Apostles, can now be watched here.
Things are moving. The District Apostle Meeting in Mainz (Germany) had numerous projects on its agenda with the aim of strengthening the ministers, teachers, musicians, and church life altogether.

The District Apostle Meeting in Mainz (Germany) has started. Until Friday, the District Apostles will be discussing teaching material, hymns, the Divine Service Guide, and many other topics. For now, here are a few photos.
