Whispers of faith echoed through the bustling streets of Athens in 1858. A Greek physician, Michail Kalapothakis, began publishing a magazine, “Star of the East”. This marked the humble beginnings of the Second Greek Evangelical Church. The Second Greek Evangelical Church stands as a testament to the perseverance and faith of a small group of believers. Kalapothakis’s followers formed the first Greek Evangelical community. They organized Sunday school and published a children’s newspaper. In 1871, the first Greek Evangelical Church was built in the heart of Athens. It was a beacon of hope and a symbol of a growing faith. The church was later demolished and rebuilt in 1956 to accommodate the increasing number of followers. The Second Greek Evangelical Church, also known as the Greek Evangelical Church, carries a rich history intertwined with the story of Greek Protestantism itself. It represents the second major establishment of the Evangelical faith in Greece. This church is part of a wider Presbyterian denomination that has spread throughout the country, with 30 churches in Greece, three in Cyprus, and five more scattered across the Greek diaspora. Today, the Second Greek Evangelical Church continues to serve as a spiritual home for thousands of believers. The church’s official website, https://beeea.gr, offers resources and information for those seeking to connect with the community. The church building itself is accessible to all, welcoming those with wheelchairs. The church holds services every Sunday at 11:00 AM. Come and experience the vibrant faith and rich history of the Second Greek Evangelical Church.
