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.

Dear Friedens Family,
The Church Council and Pastors continue to watch closely the increasing number of COVID-19 cases and the current hospitalization rates in Guadalupe County and the surrounding area. At the end of December, Guadalupe County and Comal County reported COVID positivity rates above 15% (the percentage of all COVID tests performed in a given time period that are actually positive). Guadalupe County also reported last week that we are now in an area with a high COVID-19 hospitalization rate (an area with 7 consecutive days where the number of COVID hospitalized patients exceeds 15% of hospital capacity). (More information from Guadalupe County is available at https://www.co.guadalupe.tx.us/commcourt/covid-19.php )
At this time, we will continue to meet for in person worship services. To help ensure the health and wellbeing of all who attend, it is essential that we closely follow all safety guidelines in place for our worship services. Please find the complete list of guidelines enclosed in this newsletter.
The Church Council and Pastors will continue to closely monitor the ongoing situation, and will remain in close communication. We ask that all of us understand our own level of risk regarding COVID-19, and that we all do our part in reducing it’s spread.
We appreciate everyone’s continued support and understanding during this time. Together we will continue to be in prayer for our congregation and community.
Regards,
Kyle Bading
Council President, on behalf of the Friedens Church Council
Friedens Chuch Indoor Worship Guidelines- COVID
Friedens Church is committed to the health and well-being of all in our congregation. As we resume in-person worship services, the following guidelines have been put in place to help reduce the spread of the Coronavirus.
We ask for your patience and understanding during this time, and also respect for others in the congregation that may feel it necessary to be more cautious. No matter your personal comfort level, others may still choose to refrain from close personal contact, including close conversation, handshaking, hugging, etc., or may choose to remain at home.
