Evangelischer Regionalverband Frankfurt am Main

What Evangelischer Regionalverband Frankfurt am Main does

Evangelischer Regionalverband Frankfurt am Main is a non-profit regional administrative body of the Protestant Church (Evangelische Kirche in Hessen und Nassau, EKHN), headquartered at Kurt-Schumacher-Straße 23, 60311 Frankfurt am Main. It coordinates the network of Protestant parishes in Frankfurt, provides pastoral and social-services oversight through affiliated institutions such as Diakonisches Werk Frankfurt, Evangelische Blindenarbeit Frankfurt, and Ev. Familienbildung Frankfurt, and represents the church in ecumenical bodies including the Zentrum Ökumene. Core deliverables include the Evangelisches Frankfurt newspaper (print and digital), parish coordination, youth and family services, social-welfare programs, and interfaith dialogue.

The entity is funded through EKHN church tax (Kirchensteuer) allocations, member donations, and public-sector grants for designated social services rather than commercial sales. Revenue mechanics therefore resemble a public-law non-profit rather than a market-based enterprise: there is no pricing model, no customer acquisition funnel, and no go-to-market motion. The 15-employee figure disclosed in firmographics appears to capture core coordinating staff; the broader operational footprint spans dozens of affiliated parishes and partner organizations. Leadership is vested in a Vorstandsvorsitzende (Esther Gebhardt) supported by department heads and board members including Jürgen Mattis and Stefan Majer.

Strategic posture is consolidating rather than scaling: the merger with the Stadtdekanat unified regional governance, the Riedberg parish founding extended coverage into a fast-growing residential district, and the digital relaunch of evangelischesfrankfurt.de modernized the member newsletter channel. Social-services expansion has occurred through partnerships with Diakonie Hessen and the Zentrum Ökumene, including refugee-support work and the Jugendmigrationsdienst. No commercial product launches, M&A activity, or external funding rounds are evidenced.
