We welcome you to worship each Sunday. The 11h service is a traditional service with special music from one of our guest soloists or various choirs; the 14h service is a contemporary service.
Our congregation is an interdenominational and international Christian community whose mission is to bear witness by word and deed to the love of God as revealed in Jesus Christ, to provide a place of English language worship in the American Protestant tradition, and to engage in ministries and services that enrich the lives of residents and visitors in Paris.
The ACP is the first American church established outside of the United States. Begun in 1814, its official charter and first sanctuary were established in 1857. We have been located on the quai d’Orsay since 1931.
Bloom Where You’re Planted is the premier welcome and orientation program for a rich and meaningful life in Paris. The event is designed to offer valuable information and connection for both newcomers to Paris, and our English speaking residents. We hope the Bloom experience will enhance your life in Paris.
