History continued

November 1996 - the church moves into a 250 square meter office on the six floor of an office block downtown. The church begins to conduct its Sunday worship service in both Turkish and English.

Fall 1996 - the church has the privilege of baptizing its first national believer in a small, plastic children's swimming pool. This sparks the beginning of a small but steady growth of those from Muslim background coming to faith in Christ through the grace of God.

April of 2003 - the church moves to its current location, a 700 square meter office space with several rooms with which to hold Children's programs. There are now about 140 in attendance on Sunday mornings, at least 50% of which are nationals. Normally there are 15 to 20 nations represented.

Present day - the church is moving forward with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. There are programs for the children, a crèche for the babies, and youth group activities for the teenagers. In addition to this, there are several active small groups that meet once a week in members’ homes to pray for and encourage one another.
