The German Speaking Evangelical Church (Evangelische Gemeinde Deutscher Sprache in Iran) is an expatriate community church in Tehran.
The church is dedicated to Saint Abraham. Abraham is Father in Faith of the 3 religions, Christianity, Islam and Judaism. By choosing Abraham as the patron of the Church, the Dominicans showed their desire that it would become a place of study, encounter, and understanding between people of different faiths.
At the end of the 16th century a monk Nicephorus, founded the first Russian parish on the land of Persia. A Russian spiritual mission was operating in Iran by the beginning of the 20th century, and by 1917 there were about fifty Russian Orthodox churches.
St. Vartanants Church is established in 1986 and was anointed as an Armenian Apostolic Church in 1987 at Tehran. St. Vartanants Church is the last Armenian or Christian church which was built in Iran.
Built between 1964 and 1970 and paid for by benefactor Markar Sarkissian, the white, twin-spired church is less interesting for its beauty than its place as the center of Christianity in the Islamic Republic.
