Historic Friedens Church is located in the beautiful farmland of Geronimo, Texas. Friedens United Church of Christ has faithfully served the Geronimo, Seguin, New Braunfels, and San Marcos communities of Texas since 1896. The church was founded deep in the heart of Texas by German pioneers who settled the land as farmers and ranchers.
Friedens means "Peace" in the German language, and the Peace of Christ is at the heart of our life and faith.
Today you will find both a traditional and contemporary community of faith comprised of the diverse culture of South Central Texas. Our families live on the farms and ranches of historic Geronimo, and in the new neighborhoods of the growing metropolitan areas between San Antonio and Austin.
Be part of history! Come celebrate 124 years of faith at Friedens Church in beautiful rural Geronimo with engaging pastors Dave and Sonja Phillips! You will fall in love with this welcoming community. Sunday services include childcare for ages 5 and under.
A nursery is provided throughout the year during most worship services The caring staff is experinced and has had background checks, and all are CPR certified. The nursery is also available during the Sunday School hour at 9:30am
