Christian Olding

Christian Olding (*1983) received in 2011 the ordination to priesthood and is currently working as pastor in the parish St. Maria Magdalena in Geldern. His services are events full of medial and digital surprises for people of every age. His ambition: to communicate Jesus Christ’s message in a modern way of presenting, with video sequences and through sermons. Since ever he has been inspired and moved by the aesthetic possibilities that movies offer. That made him ambitious to connect both worlds: cinema und church, faith and movies. He already manages to do this in his project ‘Vision von Hoffnung’: church and cinema services, believer’s evenings, dinner, religious exercises in cinema. And all these events focus on one goal: to convey belief in its relevance for daily life.
