The modern building has been available to the population of Pieterlen-Meinisberg-Lengnau since 1995. The house at Kurzeweg 6 in Pieterlen is surrounded by a large outdoor area with car parking spaces and a wide forecourt as well as a children's playground. The multi-staggered monopitch roof is pulled over the forecourt and thus forms a weather-protected space for encounters. The sacred space, the large parish hall with kitchen, as well as the meeting and teaching rooms are used for church services, meetings, instruction and all kinds of events. Parts of these can also be rented privately. The center was artistically decorated with pictures by Jürg Lenggenhager.
