Organized as an association, Livenet was founded by evangelical Christians in German-speaking Switzerland.

The content is aimed at young people who are not affiliated with the church. Livenet also offers life coaching.

The association was founded by Christians from free and regional churches, but does not belong to any particular church. According to the company, the annual budget is 1.5 million francs, financed by donations from 30 parishes, among others. Livenet is a member of the Swiss Evangelical Alliance (category works ). the board of directors of the Livenet association consists of Daniel Suter, Hanspeter Schmutz, Markus Schibler and the managing director Beat Baumann.

working area

The association operates web portals, offers advice and is the Swiss sponsor of the Every Home for Christ campaign .

livenet.ch

Since October 2000 reports and information from home and abroad have been published here, aimed at committed Christians. For example articles on the minaret dispute , about celebrities who profess the Christian faith, about persecuted Christians and about couple research at the University of Zurich .

jesus.ch

Since Easter 2002 this portal has been addressing "a broad section of the population who are interested in God but no longer have great expectations of the Church". The offer includes articles about personalities who are Christians, such as athletes, activists and politicians. Prayer requests are collected for government and parliament , and political preferences are expressed.

Advice is offered here for people in different situations. On the one hand through the page content; on the other hand through people who answer readers' questions. You can also exchange ideas in a chat. One of the many topics covered on the advice pages is excessive television viewing. In 2009, Livenet had a youth worry barometer drawn up by the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland.

Reception and criticism

According to the Swiss deacon Matthias Loretan, Livenet achieved "[a] ls minority group [...] astonishingly noteworthy, especially with church-skeptical contemporaries".

In December 2015, the Swiss freethinker Valentin Abgottspon objected to a tender for a civilian service position at Livenet: Such a publicly financed position should not be used for religious purposes. Livenet admitted a formulation error: There are two associations - Livenet and Livenet International -, one of which pursues religious purposes, the other non-profit purposes (help in life). In reality, the civil service office is intended for the non-profit association. Humanists reported that on December 4, 2015 , livenet.ch showed a prominent Bible verse in which the psalmist longs for the extermination of wicked people ( Ps 37:34  ELB ).
