history
prehistory
In 1945, on the initiative of five Reformed residents, the Evangelical Church Association Lenzerheide - Valbella was founded (dissolved in 1981 when the Evangelical Church Community Vaz / Obervaz was founded ). In 1953, the church building project was decided with 35 against one vote at a general assembly.
Church building
The church was built in 1954 in the then complete diaspora in the purely Catholic area and consecrated on November 1, 1954. It is especially used as a Sunday sermon and wedding church.
Furnishing
Vestibule
The anteroom is dominated by glass paintings by the Chur artist Dea Murk .
Church interior
The vaulted ceiling covered with pine wood and the stained glass by the artist François Ribas from Lausanne on the New Testament motifs of the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan are of art historical value .

The Evangelical Reformed Regional Church of Graubünden runs Lenzerheide under the political parish name Vaz / Obervaz as an independent parish in the Colloquium VI Schanfigg-Churwalden .
