The English Language Congregation (ELC) is one of the seven congregations that make up the National Evangelical Church (NEC) in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
It traces its history to 1893 when Rev. Samuel Zwemer and his small team of missionaries from the Reformed Church in America (RCA) arrived in Bahrain, and established this first church on the Arabian Peninsula.
For over a century now, Christians in Bahrain, who come from all over the world, have gathered to worship and serve as one body of believers united in faith, hope and love.
The ethnic diversity of our congregation remains an apt reminder of how it will be when we from every nation, tribe, people and language shall stand before the throne and in front of God’s Lamb, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Revelation 7:9).
