Interlaken

Short-term Mission has been taking place in Interlaken since 1844. We love returning every summer to run services and socials, meeting people from all around the world, and sharing the love and Good News of Jesus Christ.

In 2024, after an absence since the start of the pandemic, our chaplains are back in resort for around five weeks (9 July - 13 August) to serve the local community as well as the many English speakers of different nationalities who come for short or long trips, many returning year after year.

Our chaplains stay in campsites or apartments locally and are readily available to meet with people and to offer friendship, encouragement and spiritual guidance as required during the week. Please feel free to contact them if you wish to meet up. They also visit campsites and hotels and offer pastoral visits to English speakers in the hospital in Interlaken. Some may arrange occasional socials, or invite you to join them on walks etc. so look out more information on our Facebook page.

Worship takes place, during our summer season, at 10.30 on Sunday mornings in the Schlosskapelle, in the cloisters, to the right-hand side of the main Schlosskirche (Swiss Reformed Church) on the eastern edge of the great Höhematte park.

There is also a service of Evening Worship on Sunday evenings, at 18.30, in Grindelwald.

The summer 2024 season has now ended, but we hope to be back for a longer season in Summer 2025. In the meantime, you would be very welcome at our church in Wengen where we operate longer seasons both summer and winter.
