Церковь «Благая Весть», Evangelical temple in Vladivostok, Russia
The Good News Church is a Baptist church in Vladivostok, part of the Primorsky Krai association of Evangelical Christian-Baptist churches. The congregation, gathered in rented rooms from 1993, built its own prayer house on a vacant lot in a residential district; construction took seven years and finishing work was completed only in 2005. The church is one of the main financial donors of the Vozrozhdenie rehabilitation centre in Ussuriysk.
Bible courses opened in Vladivostok in November 1990 under the mission "Good Samaritan". On 7 July 1991, students from these courses were baptised in the Krasnaya Rechka river near Khabarovsk, giving rise to the Vladivostok church, whose presbyter became Alexander Drozdov. In 1993 the congregation, then meeting in rented rooms, obtained permission to build on a vacant lot in a residential district; construction lasted seven years and finishing work was completed only in 2005.
The congregation uses the space for regular Bible studies, worship services, and youth programs that shape the spiritual life of the evangelical community. The place serves as a center for connection and support among believers across the region.
The prayer house stands on a vacant lot in a residential district of Vladivostok, so it is reached by city transport rather than on a sightseeing route. It is an active Baptist place of worship, and the Primorsky Krai EKhB congresses are held here, so check gathering times before visiting.
Following attacks on the building in 2009, the church members demonstrated their values by choosing forgiveness over retaliation. This response became a defining moment in the community's history and character.
