Who is Église Saint-Lazare?

Église Saint-Lazare is an evangelical Baptist church located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, at 47 rue de Naples. Sunday worship takes place at the Lycée-Collège Fénelon Sainte-Marie, at the same address. A member of the AEEBLF (Association of French-Speaking Baptist Evangelical Churches) and supported by the Acts 29 network, it describes itself as a church plant whose mission is to make the Gospel known in Paris, summed up in its motto: "Believe, Live, Proclaim."

Founded as a church-planting project, the church stands on the principles of the Protestant Reformation: the authority of Scripture alone, Jesus Christ as the sole mediator, and salvation by grace alone through faith alone. It confesses the Apostles' Creed as its doctrinal foundation. The pastoral team includes Étienne Koning, lead pastor, his wife Laurence Koning, a marriage and family counselor, and Bryan Koffman, associate pastor, together with his wife Carly Koffman.

Worship is held every Sunday, with coffee from 10:00 a.m. and the service at 10:30 a.m.; childcare and a children's club are offered for families. During the week, several home groups meet on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays across different Paris neighborhoods (Trocadéro, Villiers/Monceau, Porte de Saint-Ouen...) to study the Bible and share a meal. The church also runs a students' group, a women's group ("Passerelles"), a men's group ("Hommes de Dieu") and regular prayer meetings.
