Welcome to The Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy


The Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy is an international, interdenominational Christian ministry serving the English-speaking community of Moscow. The Chaplaincy was established in 1962 by the National Council of Churches of Christ of the U.S.A. to provide Protestant ministry to the U.S. Embassy community. While still maintaining our relationship with the U.S. Embassy, our ministry has grown in numbers and diversity over the past forty years. Today our membership totals approximately 200 persons from nearly 30 nations, representing more than 20 different Christian traditions. Support for the Chaplaincy is provided by five mainline Protestant denominations: The United Methodist Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Reformed Church in America, and American Baptist Church.

The Chaplaincy holds worship services, administers the Sacraments, provides Christian education, offers counseling, and creates a community of peace. We respect the dignity of each individual and offer hospitality to all. We believe in salvation through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God.

Central to the mission of the Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy is our witness to the world of Jesus Christ's love and mercy . To that end, the Chaplaincy has assumed a special ministry to the neediest of our city: refugees, students, orphans, invalids, the elderly. Our ministry seeks to offer protection and compassion to these vulnerable persons in times of uncertainty and upheaval. The Chaplaincy also seeks to cooperate with other communities of faith to build up the Kingdom of God here in Moscow.

The Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy is an oasis of Christian hope and hospitality for travelers and strangers in this land. We welcome all who come to us, seeking to nurture one another and develop the good gifts that God has given us. And we pray that when our members take leave of us, they will go with a greater love for God and a desire to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    I am convinced that love is the most durable power in the world.It is not an expression of impractical idealism but of practical realism. Far from being the pious injunction of an Utopian dreamer,love is an absolute necessity for the survival of our civilization.    To return hate for hate does nothing but intensify the existence of evil in the universe.Someone must have sense enough and religion enough to cut off the chain of hate and evil,and this only be done through love....Martin Luther king Jr. 1957
