Hello & Welcome
Believing the Word and the Spirit of God
Who are we? Kurtulus Churches are the churches of Christians from Turkey who want God’s love to be experienced by all. Our goal is for you to get to know God and come a little closer to a personal relationship with Him. We hope to see you among us at our times of worship, when we celebrate God’s effect in our lives. Join us and have the privilege of knowing God and having a personal relationship with Him.
Our History Kurtuluş Churches was established in Ankara in 1985. It aims to be the family of communities consisting of individuals who serve for the expanding of God’s Kingdom in every city of Turkey and every country we reach outside of Turkey, and who grow in the discipleship of Christ as a healthy church in line with this purpose.
