“A beacon of faith in the heart of Montrouge” This is the Centre Evangèlique International Evidence. Established in 1992 it’s more than just a church. It’s a vibrant community. Pastor Francois Forschle founded this remarkable place. He’d felt a calling to Paris since the early 1980s.
The Centre Evangèlique International Evidence isn’t confined to one language or culture. It’s a testament to inclusion. People from across the globe worship here. French speakers gather alongside those who speak Spanish Russian Tamoul Romanian and Portuguese. They share their faith in a place that feels like home.
The journey to establishing this church wasn’t easy. Pastor Forschle had a vision. He wanted a prominent location. He also wanted to serve immigrant communities. Finding the perfect place was a long journey. He even had a vision of the building’s facade. He located the ideal space on Avenue de la République in Montrouge. It was unoccupied. It matched his vision perfectly.
The Centre Evangèlique International Evidence is unique. Unlike many churches it doesn’t rent out its space. It’s a single church with several ethnic departments. All share a common administrative council and spiritual leadership. This unity is its strength.
The story extends beyond Montrouge. In 1998 the church supported a young couple in Evry. They’d started small meetings in their home. The Centre Evangèlique International Evidence helped them find a meeting space. They eventually purchased a larger building. This expansion wasn’t without its trials. Securing a loan took three years. But with faith and prayer their new 500-square-meter facility opened in 2017.
The Centre Evangèlique International Evidence is a place of faith. It’s a place of remarkable growth. It’s a place of international brotherhood. It’s more than just a building. It’s a testament to faith perseverance and the power of community. It’s a place where God’s word resonates across languages and cultures.
