In the year 1922 started the UMC ministry in Protivín with the week-long series of preaching under blue sky on city square. As a follow up to this week there were worships in a tent nearby the old cemetery. Across this place a building was bought for more than 100 registered members. About 17 preachers took their turn here. Just as in all congregations also here the period of communism delivered serious blows into the entire Christian ministry. After the Velvet revolution the situation changed. In nineties the long-standing DIY reconstruction of congregation house has been finished. In the years 1993-4 the new tent evangelization took its old place and newcomers showed up. The congregation took new breath with young people and the family spirit blew over the activities of the church. In the year 1995 hosted the Conference of Faith. Nowadays it has around 50 members. The desire of this people is to follow the path of Jesus.
The preacher is Richard Novák.

The church in Prague 10 – Strašnice
The first assembly of the UMC in Strašnice with great attention of the public was hold on the last Sunday in January 1921. Thereafter the preaching lectures followed, which were focused on evangelization. In April the evangelization effort culminated in gospel preaching in tents. After three moths the second Prague church has been established. There were around 200 active attendants, at that time. The congregation felt the need of their own liturgical space. Small gatherings took place in member’s flats, bigger assemblies were then in a leased room, mostly in saloons. This has changed in the year 1924, when church bought a land, where on 6th of April the foundation stone was put down. In a little less than 5 months the construction was finished. The church gained the space, which they so much prayed for.
The preacher is Milan Mrázek.

The church in Prague 9 rose up not in a typical way. In twenties the church operated here an orphanage and later also a home for the elderly. To the ministry of charity institute the Procházka family joined. After the WW2 the communist establishment forced the suspension of this ministry. The member’s base has diminished and the congregation state was changed to preacher station. Not until the year 1980 the state of the congregation is renewed and with the year 1991 the first paid preacher came. In the year 1999, after many difficulties, the castle was retrieved to the church. Once again, in the castle is the possibility of social work opened. From July 1999, the Centre of Christian Help has been established here.
The administrator is Ivana Procházková.
