Chinese Christian Fellowship · Halle (Saale)
In the city of salt —
the salt of the earth.

You are the salt of the earth · Matthew 5:13
Halle has been the city of salt for a thousand years —
fitting soil for a people whom Jesus calls
“the salt of the earth.”
Week by week we gather to worship the triune God, to hear the Scriptures preached, to pray, and to share a meal. What we believe is the faith the whole church has confessed for two thousand years — and Wittenberg, where the Reformation began, is only a short journey away. Whether you have known Christ for years or are simply curious, you are welcome.
Handel's Hallelujah
“Hallelujah:
for the Lord God Omnipotent
reigneth.”
Revelation 19:6
George Frideric Handel, Halle's greatest son, wrote this “Hallelujah” into his Messiah — and gave it to the world. His monument stands on the Marktplatz, between the towers of the Marktkirche. This city gave the world the Hallelujah; here we gather week by week to give it back to God.
Halle, and what we believe
- Salt of the earth
Halle is the thousand-year city of salt — the Halloren, the brine beneath the streets. Jesus calls his disciples “the salt of the earth” (Mt 5:13).
- Hallelujah
Halle's son Handel wrote Messiah and carried the “Hallelujah” to the whole world.
- Living water
The Saale shapes this city — an image of the “rivers of living water” (Jn 7:38).
- Reformation
Luther once preached beneath the Marktkirche's blue towers; this city is deeply shaped by the Reformation.
- Luther University
The Martin Luther University's very name binds Halle to Wittenberg, where the Reformation began.
