Our History
Where We Are Today
2024
Today we have three locations on the East, Middle, and West sides of town. Our church has grown to 250 members and we have people continually coming to the church who are seeking a relationship with Jesus. Praise God!
House Church
1992
We started as a small house church of less then ten people. We would meet every week for a small Bible study and meals. Before this time there were no know Christians in our city of Antalya.
First Church Location - Kaleiçi
1999
In 1999, with the help of a couple from America we were able to start worshipping in a building in the middle of town. This was our first locaiton - the Kaleiçi location. This was also an exciting time because our church was steadily growing and leadership was forming. We also now had a public place where we could meet people for Bible studies.
Second Church Location
2011
In 2011 we were able to purchase our own building on the east side of town. This is the Lara location. Through this we were able to reach two large parts of town - the middle and the east sides. Our church grew from about 100 members to 150!
Discipleship Center and Fourth Church Location
2024 - 2026
As we move to the future our church continues to grow. Our goal is to reach every part of our city. By 2026 we want to open a fourth location in the northern part of our city. This will fulfill our goal of having a church in every part of our city.
​
In addition, by the end of 2024 we will open a discipleship center in the middle of town. This will be an even more centralized location than that of our Kaleiçi location. Through this we will have a theological library, a place to formally teach people, and grow as a church!
