Welcome to Community Amager
Building bridges and dialogue between people of different backgrounds
Our office is open Mon-Fri 10-15. To visit our office, please call us on 82325527 in advance.
The purpose of Community Amager is to be a meeting place, where people and communities can meet across ethnical, cultural, religious and social differences in an atmosphere of respect and understanding. Community Amager wants to be a part of the local community and offer a helping hand in different ways.
Community Amager is a project within The Danish Lutheran Church, and the groups we especially attend to are immigrants, both of Christian and non-Christian background, as well as Danes that are not baptized. The daily work is led by two pastors and an intercultural secretary together with a group of volunteers. Community Amager's office is open on weekdays 10 am. to 3 pm.
Just drop by - we love to see new faces!
