View articlesÉglise Réformée Évangélique de Marseille Sud gathers its community at the ecumenical chapel of Roy d'Espagne, 16 allée Albeniz, in Marseille's 8th district. It belongs to UNEPREF, the National Union of Reformed Evangelical Churches of France, and is also connected to the Protestant Federation of France and the National Council of Evangelicals of France.
Founded in 1996, the church is led by a presbyteral council and shapes its community life around three movements: discovering the reconciliation offered in Jesus, living it out daily, and sharing it with others. Its current focus areas include making worship accessible to all, growing in trust in God, and intentional evangelism.
Church life centers on the Sunday service and home groups where members gather for Bible study and fellowship. A youth ministry is also offered, along with occasional events such as gospel concerts.
The church makes its sermons available online through its YouTube channel, where recordings of past services can be viewed, alongside a website featuring the community's calendar and teachings.
