About Evangelical Reformed Church of Basel City

The Evangelical Reformed Church of Basel-Stadt sees itself as part of worldwide Christianity. "The basis of her teaching is Jesus Christ and his gospel" - so it is stated in the church constitution. The self-image of the Reformed Church is that its members "form a personal conviction based on consideration and experience". The church is therefore not a preconceived doctrine, but arises again and again from the living example of its members. The three central pillars of a Christian church are proclamation, diaconia and communion. In 1529, the Evangelical Reformed Church of Basel-Stadt was founded with the cooperation of the Basel reformer Johannes Oekolampad. For almost 400 years it was a state church. Since 1911, it has been independent as a public corporation with its own tax sovereignty.
