Citykyrkan, Church building in Norrmalm, Stockholm, Sweden
Citykyrkan is a Pentecostal congregation at Adolf Fredriks kyrkogata 10 in Stockholm, a few blocks from Hötorget. Since 1940 it has used a former entertainment venue known as Fenixpalatset. The richly decorated third floor once housed a café called Citykonditoriet, now used for the congregation's activities.
The building was originally the Fenixpalatset entertainment venue and was acquired in 1940 by a congregation that began in 1936 as Östermalms Fria Församling. The transition from an entertainment space to a place of worship marked a fundamental shift in the location's purpose.
The church maintains an international congregation and operates weekly Café Liv events where meals are offered to people experiencing homelessness. These activities reflect its commitment to the local community and create a gathering space for people from different backgrounds.
The congregation meets at Adolf Fredriks kyrkogata 10, a few blocks from Hötorget and near public transport. The building is a former entertainment venue, so the entrance and interior layout differ from a purpose-built church. Visitors should check the congregation's own channels for service times and access rather than assume fixed visiting hours.
Since 2008, the congregation has operated the International Bible Institute of Stockholm and partners with Westminster Theological Centre for biblical education. This makes it a center for theological studies alongside its role as a place of worship.
