OUR HISTORY

 

History of MPC

The Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy is an international, interdenominational Christian ministry serving the English-speaking community of Moscow. The Chaplaincy was established in 1962 by the National Council of Churches of Christ of the U.S.A. to provide Protestant ministry to the U.S. Embassy community.

While still maintaining our relationship with the U.S. Embassy, our ministry has grown in numbers and diversity over the past forty years. Today our membership totals approximately 200 people from nearly 30 nations, representing more than 20 different Christian traditions.

Support for the Chaplaincy is provided by five mainline Protestant denominations: The United Methodist Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Reformed Church in America, and American Baptist Church.
