The Seven Churches of Revelation — Turkey Discovery

The seven churches and the cradle of Christian doctrine

Ancient Asia Minor — modern Turkey — is where the early Church took root, flourished, and was tested. All seven churches addressed in the book of Revelation stand on Turkish soil. Ephesus was Paul's headquarters for three years. John brought Mary here after the crucifixion. The first great councils of the Church were held here. This eleven-day faith journey begins in Constantinople, moves through each of the seven letters — Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea, Ephesus — and traces Paul's footsteps at Troas, Miletus, and Didyma. A journey through the full arc of the early Church in Asia Minor.
