Glaubenszentrum Bad Gandersheim

Glaubenszentrum Bad Gandersheim is an interdenominational Bible school, conference center, and missions base of the charismatic movement, located on the Osterberg in Bad Gandersheim, Lower Saxony, Germany. It is operated by the non-profit registered association Glaubenszentrum e.V., whose registered office is in Braunschweig. The work was founded in 1975 by staff of the American theological seminary Christ for the Nations Institute (Dallas, Texas), initially in Wolfenbüttel near Braunschweig. In 1987 it moved into the former customs school barracks in Bad Gandersheim — a building used between 1936 and 1945 as a motorsport school of the National Socialist Motor Corps (NSKK) — and subsequently expanded extensively. Today it is a Christian life and service community whose motto is "inspirieren – befähigen – leben" (inspire – equip – live). Its stated vision is to see revival in Germany and beyond in all of Europe, and its mission is to train people in living faith in Jesus Christ so that they discover the power of the Word of God, experience Christ-like life transformation, recognize God's purpose for their lives, and exert influence with vision and authority. The center describes itself as an apostolic work that has carried the DNA of Christ for the Nations since its founding, and it has spawned two daughter Bible schools: one in Albania in 2000 and one in Paraguay in 2003. As a mother Bible school it continues to accompany and support the team in Pogradec, Albania. The ministry reports more than 50 years of history, over 3,000 trained Bible students, more than 40 published worship albums, over 100 trained missionaries, and more than 100,000 equipped visitors. Its work is largely financed by donations and is organized as a non-profit. The Bible school's training does not lead to a state-recognized professional qualification, but it is accepted by some free churches as a qualification for various fields of activity. In 1998 a "revival hall" (Erweckungshalle) with space for around 1,000 visitors was built, and in 2003 the Wilhelm-Augusta-Stift was acquired to house the roughly 140 Bible students per year. Today more than 60 staff and deacons work at the Glaubenszentrum. The board is formed by the "Prisma-Team," and the overall director is Markus Germann. The center also runs an online shop and a bookshop, a worship band called Glaubenszentrum Live, and offers voluntary services (FSJ/BFD) for young adults aged 18 to 26.

In 1998 a "revival hall" (Erweckungshalle) with space for around 1,000 visitors was built. In 2000, Bible school graduates from the Glaubenszentrum founded a daughter Bible school in Albania (CfN Albania), and in 2003 another daughter Bible school was founded in Paraguay.
