Turkey is a nation of 70 million people. Less than 0.3 % of them are Christian.


There are currently some sixty churches in Turkey, almost all less than fifteen years old, serving some 3,000 Turkish Christians.


Trinity has the privilege of being sister church to one of those, the Batikent Bereket Kilisesi, in Turkey’s capital city of Ankara.
