My daughter is studying in Seville Spain this semester and is looking for a protestant church to attend too. Did you all find one? Also, she would love to get involved in some sort of community service outreach there if you found anything like that.

The name of the church seems to be ‘East Park Church’, but I have not been able to find any directions. So I would strongly encourage the leaders of this church to start a website!

Emily, I am studying in Spain next semester and I’m looking for churches online now. Have you found one?

Hi, my name is Emily and I just moved to Seville, Spain a week ago. I’m actually looking for a protestant church to attend and found this post on google. Any chance you can point me in the right direction? I’d be happy with an English or Spanish speaking one…

Thanks!
Emily

Hannah- I have a daughter in Seville spending a Semester at University. She is looking for a place to serve & worship. I am praying the God will give her direction. Her name is Mitzi Howard, and she is on facebook. Maybe a connection can be made with another Evangelical beliver.

My family and I have been feeling a “pull” from God to consider a mission trip or permanent missionary work in NE Spain. We would love to talk with someone about more information on looking into this and how to best go about it.

I was a bit surprised to say the least when I read your blog. I am Catholic and have lived in Spain for 25 years. I would like to point your attention to a couple of things:

1. You say there are less than 1% of protestants in Spain. Why is that surprising? Spain was founded as a combination of Catholic kingdoms more than 500 years ago, way before the XVI century when protestantism was born. +99% of the population is Catholic. Catholicism is part of our lives and part of our history, and Franco has very little to do with any of this: The Catholic church existed in Spain hundreds of years before Franco and will continue several hundred years after.

2. You mentioned that “churches are empty”. ??? Churches in Spain are open the whole day for people to enter/leave as they please. When there is no mass, the church is almost empty (maybe a few dozen people praying or admiring the building). When there is mass, you will probably have to stand up as they church will be packed and there will be no empty seats. So “empty”.. when there is no mass.

3. I find it interesting that you are able to infer something as strong as “there is a spiritual void” and “people don’t believe in anything” from a 2-week trip to a small part in the northeast of Spain. Your generalizations apply to +45 million Spaniards in 9 different autonomic communities with completely different historic backgrounds.

Thank you for posting my opinions.
OC.

Great blog! I’m on the Sevilla Connections Trip that will be in Spain in September and it is so refreshing to hear that someone else shares my thoughts and reasons on why to serve Spain!
