UNITED METHODIST CHURCH IN ESTONIA<br />

CONFERENCE SITES<br />

<strong>The</strong> Estonian Methodist Church in Tallinn is<br />

the largest modern church centre in Estonia.<br />

Consecrated 10 September 2000 after six<br />

years of construction work, it serves as<br />

the home <strong>for</strong> the Estonian-speaking and<br />

Russian-speaking Methodist congregations<br />

in Tallinn. It also accommodates the Baltic<br />

Methodist <strong>The</strong>ological Seminary, quarters<br />

<strong>for</strong> social and youth work, and a book<br />

shop. <strong>The</strong> much-awaited building was<br />

created with the help of donations from<br />

the members of the United Methodist<br />

Church in Estonia and worldwide, mainly<br />

the United States and South Korea. <strong>The</strong><br />

architects of the project are Vilen Künnapu<br />

and Ain Padrik, interior designers Katrin<br />

and Argo Vaikla. <strong>The</strong> church hall is greatly<br />

appreciated <strong>for</strong> its acoustics and frequently<br />

houses concert programmes <strong>for</strong> the wider<br />

town community.<br />
