Kościół Ewangelicznych Chrześcijan, Warszawa

Kościół Ewangelicznych Chrześcijan is home to a Warsaw evangelical Christian congregation at Zagórna ten. Its roots reach back to the nineteen twenties, when evangelical worship began at premises on Targowa Street. The community grew beyond a hundred members, and Ludwik Szenderowski, senior leader of the Evangelical Christians’ union, became its head.

A remarkable chapter followed in the late nineteen thirties: theologian and preacher Mojżesz Gitlin joined this congregation with Jewish converts, and an interdenominational Bible school opened nearby. Worship continued through wartime at Szeroka Street, until the chapel there was burned and destroyed during the Warsaw Uprising. After the war, a small gathering resumed in a private Praga flat.

As attendance increased, the community restored a chapel on Targowa Street, formed a choir, and began children’s Sunday school. Communist repression later brought arrests and the closure of that chapel. The congregation eventually received this newly built chapel on Zagórna in nineteen sixty-nine. Its worship remains deliberately straightforward: Bible-based preaching, shared singing, prayer, and Sunday activities for children.
