In the year 1923 was founded the congregation, which 4 years later built up the Bethlem Chapel in Husova Street. With other preacher stations it had around 1200 members. Three periods (economic crisis in the thirties, during the WW2 and after the communistic putsch in the year 1948 – especially the fifties) delivered serious blows into the life of this young congregation with the result of significant reduction in numbers of member’s base. A series of persecution measures culminated in the nationalization of the chapel, still one room could be used for the needs of the congregation till the year 1964. Thereafter it had to meet in a leased room. Over 20 years, the church tried to keep the congregation alive, but in the half of eighties had almost died out.  With the end of eighties the new period started. The preacher arranged evangelization; he started to teach the elements of Christianity and started to find new space for congregation. When the possibility of buying new house opened, new people started to attend the chapel. After the Velvet revolution the congregation could not fit into the chapel. The chapel in Husova Street, previously stolen by communists, was retrieved.  In the year 1996 the UMC of Plzeň was divided into three parishes: Plzeň 3 – Husova, Plzeň 1 – Lochotín a Staňkov.
