Who is Église Évangélique Paris Métropole?
Église Évangélique Paris Métropole is an evangelical Protestant church affiliated with the Assemblées de Dieu de France (ADD), whose main campus is located at 44 rue de la Roquette, in Paris's 11th arrondissement, near Bastille. The Sunday service there begins at 9:30 am. The church is also part of a network of several worship locations across the Paris region, including Montparnasse, Torcy, and Fresnes.
Its history dates back to 1930, when pastor Douglas Scott arrived in France and launched the Pentecostal movement. The Paris work was officially founded on February 20, 1936 by Christo Domoutchief under the name 'Église évangélique de Paris.' The church moved to rue de la Roquette in 1973. After André Boulagnon and then Franck Lefillatre, Christian Robichaud was appointed principal pastor in 2017. His vision is to reach Parisians by establishing new worship locations, carried by the love of Jesus Christ.
Church life is organized around several Sunday services depending on the campus, a weekly prayer meeting, and an intergenerational ministry structured by age group: Mini Kids (ages 1-3), P'tits Pouss (ages 3-6), Expl'Orateurs (ages 7-10), DJ's (ages 11-14), the CAP teen group (ages 14-18) on Sundays at 2 pm, and JAP for young adults (ages 18-35) two Fridays a month. Monthly home groups offer fellowship, Bible study and prayer, along with dedicated time for seniors.
