Beta 1: Wednesdays 25 Jan, 1 Feb, 8 Feb 19h30-21h
Beta 2: Wednesdays 15 Mar, 22 Mar, 29 Mar 19h30-21h
In-person attendance is strongly recommended, but a Zoom option is available.
Beta is a two-part course, led by Rev. Don Lee, offering you the opportunity to look deeper at the Christian faith. Using the four cornerstones of theological thinking - scripture, tradition, reason, experience - we will explore themes like our understanding of the nature of God, the life and ministry of Jesus as it relates to our lives, the power of prayer, what it means to be the church in the post-modern, post-pandemic world, and other important themes that form our understandings of a growing faith.
Beta is open to all!
The American Church in Paris (ACP) is a Christian community of all socio-economic backgrounds, ethnicities, races, nationalities, gender identities, and sexual orientations. Learn more about us
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.
