It is the second Armenian Evangelical Church to be established in Istanbul, on November 1, 1850. In the period between 1850-1905 the church used to be known as the Armenian Evangelical church of Langa, according to the neighborhood where it was first established. From 1854-1888 the congregation used to meet for worship services in a house in Langa, but when the place became too small and old for the growing number of the members, the meetings were held in a rented place on Gedik-Pasha street, to the time when the church council buys a land with the vision of building its permanent sanctuary. But the Ottoman imperial permission was delayed against all the hopes of the members.

I could not visit the interior.
