Founded on 21 March 1976 as an outpost of the Saint-Nazaire church, it became independent on 1 April 1977 and acquired its current building in 1982. Over the decades it has extended into Saint-Sébastien, Rezé, Ancenis, and La Montagne. Today's pastoral team includes Michel Maréchal, senior pastor since the church's founding, Maxime Dehays (since 2017), Matthias Mette (leading the Ancenis site since 2019), and Yannick Draikolo (leading Rezé and La Montagne since 2021).
Sunday worship begins at 9:45 am (with prayer from 9:30 am), followed by an afternoon outreach session. The weekly schedule also includes a prayer and Bible study evening on Tuesdays and an outreach meeting on Thursdays. Children and young people have age-specific groups (Poussins, Kangourous, Tournesols, teens, the UPS youth group, and young adults), and the church runs two chaplaincy ministries, in hospitals and in prisons.
The church runs a YouTube channel (@addnantes9861) sharing live and recorded services, along with a website (addnantes.com) and Facebook and Instagram accounts. These channels let people follow sermons, announcements, and community life from a distance.
