Helsinki - International Evangelical Church (IEC)

In Helsinki you can find a church fellowship through the International Evangelical Church. There are several ethnic fellowships (eg. Arabic, Chinese, Cantonese, French, African and Ethiopian fellowships). If you want to study Bible beside your main studies, you may join the Evening Bible School.

The Friday Night Cafe (every Friday from 19 to 23 at the International Christian Center, addr. Ruoholahdenkatu 16) is aimed specially for students and young adults.
