Who we are

Life needs blessing!

Because life is so colourful and so diverse. And there are so many moments when it is comforting to know: God is here. “I am with you” – this is the name God gives himself in the Bible (Exodus 3:14). That is why we do not only offer blessings at baptisms, weddings and funerals, but also accompany very personal moments of blessing: During pregnancy, coming out, separation, illness, the clearing of a grave… – through all the colours of life. A blessing offers support in many situations, and we want to help you experience that.

Segen45 is an agency of the Evangelical Church in Essen. We’d be happy to advise you, put you in touch with suitable support, or work with you to shape your own moments of blessing.

Blessings in life:

What others say about us...

It was a special church service for me, because although my father passed away years ago, I miss him particularly at Christmas. What makes it even harder is that he was buried on 23 December. During this Christmas service, I felt as though he – and my late mother too – were there with me, and that I was in the right place.
Bernd DorrAttendees at the church service "Weihnachten ohne dich"
I am married to a woman and am infinitely grateful that there are people who bless us ‘rainbow people’ too. Thanks to a church blessing, we were able to have such a lovely celebration. I can only recommend to everyone that they experience blessings and be a blessing themselves! Many thanks to the team for offering blessings in so many different situations! We should all be colourful!
Silke Weßkamp
The Segen45 team is a dynamic group of powerful women who boldly try out new formats, are keen to reach out to people, and find creative ways to ensure that as many people as possible feel welcome and at ease with what they have to offer. They are wonderfully open-minded, keen to build a wide network and receptive to constructive feedback. It’s a blessing to have them in Essen city centre!
Akua Azu
I attended the Christmas service for those in mourning and was very grateful for this beautiful and thoughtful service.
Alexandra Bleck
The care and support provided by the special pastor from the ‘Segen 45’ team were outstanding. At our son’s christening in the Königssteele parish church, she demonstrated that she had given careful consideration to our individual wishes and needs. In our many personal conversations, we felt not only understood but also warmly welcomed. The pastor placed great importance on ensuring that the christening was a meaningful and personalised occasion for us. Her warm and attentive manner gave us the feeling that our son’s christening was close to her heart too. Thank you for one of the most wonderful days of our lives!
Evgenij Dottai
Straightforward and spontaneous. Yet still very lovely and personal, and not a rushed affair. One of the most wonderful experiences we’ve ever had. Although we turned up completely unplanned, everything was much more relaxed than at our civil wedding years ago. I’d recommend it to anyone who values the actual wedding ceremony more than all the fuss and fanfare.
Hollie SteinParticipant in #einfachheiraten
I would like to thank you once again for the service (Christmas – we miss you), which was prepared and conducted with such care. Of course, it was sad, but everything came together perfectly: the music, the words, the various parts of the service, and the kindness of all the staff. During my first Christmas without my husband, I felt very well looked after and supported by you all.
ConnyA woman attending the service "Weihnachten ohne dich"
All our wishes were fulfilled for the blessing ceremony and wedding service; we felt understood and taken seriously at all times. Our vicar was always understanding and empathetic, and you could really tell that she does this work with all her heart and with great passion.
Syl ImA personalised wedding with Segen45
I can hardly put into words just how grateful I am that you’re here! (...) We discussed everything with the wonderful Jule on Monday and had one of the best days of our lives on Friday. Words cannot describe just how lovely it was! Your work is so incredibly important, especially in times like these. Please, do carry on! You’ll always be in our hearts!

We are absolutely delighted that our funeral director put us in touch with Segen45 and the lovely Eva. Eva delivered a beautiful eulogy at the graveside of our late friend. A huuuuuuge thank you once again ❤️
Nadine
A brilliant, friendly, reliable and likeable team.
Markus Grau
On Saturday, we had the pleasure of celebrating our wedding with Segen 45 – and it was simply wonderful. (...) It was an unforgettable moment for which we are truly grateful. We can wholeheartedly recommend Segen 45 to anyone looking for a personal and meaningful ceremony.
Lena
At short notice, I asked the Segen 45 team if they had any blessing bracelets for our nursery. The friendly team were immediately willing to send us some from their remaining stock. Our enquiry was answered quickly, so our new nursery children can now look forward to receiving a blessing bracelet at the welcome service. Many thanks for the donation.
Manuaela Kuett
We had an absolutely lovely christening ceremony for Jule. It was so personal, heart-warming and full of love. Our little one felt so well looked after. Thank you so much, Juliane, for all the love and effort you put into the ceremony. Segen45 gave us a blessed christening and we’re already looking forward to the next one with you.
Melyz Sika
Thank you so much again for the wonderful christening party! We’re absolutely delighted. It’s a shame you can only be christened once 😉

Our christening was very personal and incredibly beautifully organised.
Familie HuchTN Christening celebration at the Steeler Freibad
We are so grateful that Segen 45 exists. 💛 With her warm and welcoming manner, Jule has shown that the church can be innovative, open and at the heart of everyday life – and that is exactly what convinced us to hold our wedding and christening there. The fact that, in the end, every single guest felt moved and welcome was, for us, the most wonderful sign that the church can still bring people together in a special way today.
