A place with history and presence

Pauluskirche is one of the most distinctive churches in the center of Bochum. It is located right in the pedestrian zone and opens its doors daily from 10 AM to 6 PM as a space of silence. At the same time, it has been a venue for exhibitions, concerts, readings, and theater for years - thus, a house that consciously brings together faith and culture.

What makes the Living Room Church special

The format connects event planning and spiritual experience in an unusually accessible way. In the Bochum community publication, the Living Room Church is described as a service where the church feels like a living room - with candlelight, casual conversations about God and the world, depth, lots of music, and real stories from life. For people over 20, it is an evening that convincingly brings together encounters and audience engagement.

Atmosphere, space, and shared experience

Anyone entering Pauluskirche experiences a unique blend of historical backdrop and modern openness. The ambiance of the City Church, the location in the Bochum center, and the format of the Living Room Church create an event experience that starts quietly and lingers long after. It is not about distance, but about closeness, exchange, and an atmosphere where new guests also feel well looked after.

Organization and contact person

Pastor Constantin Decker is responsible for the Living Room Church. The Bochum community materials name him as the contact person and also refer to the Instagram presence @komma_bochum. The event is thus clearly rooted in the work of the Evangelical Church Community Bochum. ([ejubo.de](https://www.ejubo.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Faltplan_eJubo_2026_ONLINE.pdf?utm_source=openai))
