About Us
We have a long tradition of ministry to English speaking people in the Canton of Berne, Switzerland, and beyond. We also provide a home for Christians from many different denominations and cultural backgrounds. We are one of the chaplancies in the Swiss archdeaconry of the Anglican Diocese in Europe.
St Ursula's is a strongly ecumenical church, and this is reflected in its membership.
Worship is, of course, important. Around 60 to 70 adults come to our main service at 10:00 on Sunday mornings, together with around 10 children. This service is normally a Eucharist. On the second Sunday of each month, our service is usually an All-Age Eucharist. And on the fourth Sunday, a Sung Eucharist. For our younger members we offer Junior Church and creche during most services.
Outreach, prayer, housegroups and pastoral care form other important parts of our ministry. We have fun together at fêtes, sales, quizzes and, of course, the annual Christmas Bazaar.
We support the work of Christ in the world through our charity and mission team.
A small group also meet at the Chapelle Romande in Frutigenstrasse, Thun on the first Tuesday of each month.
