History
The congregation was founded in 1894 and in the early days the congregation met in rented premises.[3] In 1909, the congregation bought a wooden house in Punavuori. In 1928, the congregation started building a new church at the same place, and the congregation's wooden house was moved to Malmi. In 1929, a current church building was completed.[1]
