Mission Statement
The Friends of Eberbach shall maintain and expand the Sister-City relationship established in 1976 between the Borough of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, USA and the city of Eberbach, Germany. The relationship energizes our historic connection with the birthplace of Conrad Beisel, founder of the Ephrata Cloister, and fosters international understanding and friendship through exchange experiences in education, art, music, athletics, hosting and economic endeavors.

What do we do?
Throughout the year, we hold events to talk together and share news about what is happening in our two towns. We are in contact with our sister organization the Freundeskreis Ephrata. We also hold fundraisers to support the high school's student exchange which is held biannually. Occasionally, we also organize adult trips/exchanges.
