Église évangélique baptiste de Paris, Baptist church in 7th arrondissement of Paris, France

The Église évangélique baptiste de Paris is a neo-Gothic church at 48 rue de Lille, designed by Swedish architect W. Hansen. Its light stone facade has a tall central section with three pointed-arch windows, a circular rose pattern in the middle one, and a balustrade with quatrefoil openings above. The interior seats 700 and uses very thin metal supports.

A group of Baptists met on Rue Saint-Étienne-du-Mont in 1839 and moved through several addresses before building this church with funds from the American Baptist Missionary Committee in Boston. The first stone was laid on 24 August 1872, the tercentenary of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre, and the building was dedicated on 14 September 1873 with a 700-seat auditorium.

The church's name comes from its Baptist congregation, which has worshipped here since 1873. The congregation runs a Christian bookshop, "7ici", at the same address, and the building's 700-seat auditorium hosts services in French. The community belongs to the Federation of Evangelical Baptist Churches of France.

The interior can accommodate around 700 visitors and is open during worship services and scheduled group visits. It is best to check specific opening times in advance, as the building primarily functions as an active place of worship.

The church keeps the oldest baptismal pool for adults in Paris, used for baptism by immersion. The Swedish architect W. Hansen, who also drew the plans for the Protestant temple of l'Étoile, designed the thin metal supports of the chapel. The congregation runs a Christian bookshop, "7ici", at the same address, 48 rue de Lille.
