Church Meets Cinema.30: Faith, Film, and Music Under the Open Sky

On Sunday morning at Süsterplatz, a special experience of faith emerges: The Evangelical-Reformed Congregation of Bielefeld combines an open-air worship service with music, preaching, and themes from a current film. This form of spiritual community opens a space for reflection, conversation, and religious experience in the heart of the city.

A Worship Service with a Cinematic View

The series “Church Meets Cinema” has long achieved cult status in Bielefeld. For the event on August 30, 2026, the worship service will focus on the film “The Homeless” and relate biblical texts to the images, questions, and emotions of cinema. Thus, theology connects with the present, everyday relevance with spiritual depth.

Music, Preaching, and Spiritual Atmosphere

The musical arrangement by Andreas Kaling on saxophone, Bertold Becker on Rhodes piano, and Matthias Kosmahl on double bass shapes the unique sound of this morning. In the sermon by Pastor Bertold Becker and retired Pastor Uwe Moggert-Seils, film, faith, and human experience are interrelated. From this, an open, dignified liturgy grows that invites attentive listening and reflection.

Süsterplatz as a Place of Encounter

The square offers a particularly public and inviting atmosphere for this purpose.

The Spiritual Focus

The worship service connects the language of film with the language of the Bible. Those who come experience a church space in the open air, a moment of tranquility, and a sense of community that transcends the usual Sunday routine. It is precisely this mix of culture, spirituality, and pastoral care that makes “Church Meets Cinema.30” a credible and touching event in Bielefeld's late summer.
