American church

The American Church in Paris (formerly the American Chapel in Paris) was the first American church established outside the United States. 

The traces are going back to 1814. 

 

The present church building  is located at 65 Quai d’Orsay in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France – dates to 1931.

 

The closest metro 8 and 13  station is Invalides. 

In 1814, American Protestants started worshiping together in homes around Paris and at the Oratoire du Louvre temple. The first American sanctuary was built in 1857, on rue de Berri.

 

The American Church, or ACP, continues to minister to many Anglophone Protestants in Paris, with multicultural programming, and a congregation coming from some 40 nations and 35 Christian denominations.
