OPKO - Evangelical Lutheran Student Mission of Turku is a Christian student fellowship in Turku. Our meetings are open to all Christians and non-Christians. OPKO is a member of IFES - International Fellowship of Evangelical Students.

Student Evenings

Student Evenings are held during the semesters on Tuesdays at 18 o'clock (6pm) in Evankeliumintalo, Vähä Hämeenkatu 16. In Student Evenings we will hear a speech, discuss faith and life, pray, meet other students and have an evening snack. Once a month the evening is held in English and on other occasions we will have someone translating the speech for the English speaking students.
