The Helsinki Finnish Methodist Church (also known as the Helsinki Finnish Methodist Congregation; Finnish: Helsingin metodistiseurakunta; Finnish: Helsingfors finska metodistförsamling) is a Finnish Methodist congregation in Helsinki, Finland. It belongs to the Finnish Methodist Church [fi] and was founded in 1894. The current congregation building is located in the Punavuori district of Helsinki.

The congregation regularly organizes bilingual worship activities; mission circles, Bible evenings, moments of prayer and youth evenings also meet regularly in the congregation.[1]

Helsinki also has another, Swedish-speaking Methodist congregation [fi].[2]

History

[edit]

The congregation was founded in 1894 and in the early days the congregation met in rented premises.[3] In 1909, the congregation bought a wooden house in Punavuori. In 1928, the congregation started building a new church at the same place, and the congregation's wooden house was moved to Malmi. In 1929, a current church building was completed.[1]
