Jungschar: living space for children
In the Jungschar groups, where girls and boys meet on a weekly basis, we promote a spirit of cooperation and a responsible attitude towards Creation.
Jungschar: church with children
We support children in their religious development and share our trust in our loving and caring God during conversations and common pastoral activities.

We make an issue out of children's living conditions and commit ourselves to politics orientated towards the needs of children.
Jungschar: support from children
Due to DKA we commit ourselves to a fairer world. With material from our educational department we offer the possibility of getting to know the living conditions of the poor and try to sensitize about issues of deprived people.
