Commenced its activities following the finalized decision of the Istanbul Anatolian 18th Civil Court of First Instance, dated 12/12/2023, with reference 17.10.2023, Case No: 2023/154, Decision No: 2023/755, and its Constitution of the Republic of Türkiye and the applicable laws.

The Foundation operates in accordance with the principles of the United Nations on Human Rights, multilateral European conventions concerning human rights and freedoms, as well as the Constitution of the Republic of Türkiyeand the applicable laws and regulations of Türkiye.

Within this framework, the Foundation serves with the purpose of meeting the religious and spiritual needs of citizens of the Republic of Türkiye who belong to the Protestant faith, as well as foreign residents in Türkiye who share the same faith, supporting freedom of worship, and contributing to the public good.

The Christian faith, based on the Bible, is a universal faith that does not discriminate based on language, nationality, or culture. With this understanding, the communities within the Foundation bring together people from different backgrounds on the basis of love, respect, and fellowship.

Our worship services are conducted in Turkish, and we consider it an important responsibility to respect the national and cultural values of the society in which we live and to live in harmony with these values.

As FUPC, we serve with an understanding that goes beyond being merely a worshipping community; we aim to support spiritual growth, strengthen fellowship, and contribute to the well-being of society. At the center of our faith are the values of love, compassion, justice, and responsibility. We believe that these values contribute positively to both individual lives and the wider community.

Today, FUPC is not only an institution, but a community that continues its journey with the goal of learning together, growing together, and looking to the future with hope.
