A home for honest faith in the heart of Athens.

Three Sunday services, nine small groups across the city, and a weekday helpline that picks up. Open since 2014, on Aristotelous Street, five minutes from Omonoia.

We started with eleven people in a borrowed dance studio.

Logos (6): Tearfund Hellas / Athens Refug

Stories from people who walked in once and stayed.

“I came in October 2023 expecting to leave at the offering. I stayed for the soup. Marta sat with me for an hour after the service. Eighteen months later I lead a small group in Pagrati.”
Liam O'Connor
Kypseli
“The English service is the only one in Athens where my Greek wife and my Irish self both feel at home. Andreas's sermon on grief in February got us through losing my dad.”
Sofia Antoniou
Kolonaki
“Hope Kids is the reason my seven-year-old asks if it's Sunday yet. The leader Eirini knows every child's name and every parent's coffee order.”
Yannis Roussos
Exarcheia
“I called the helpline at 23:00 on the worst night of my year. They picked up at 22:01 the next day, exactly when they said they would. Theodora didn't try to fix me. She just listened.”
Aikaterini Diamantidi
Nea Smyrni
