Betel Church (Template:Lang-fi) is located in the VII District of Turku, Finland. It is a church of the Turku adventism parish.
The jugend-style church was completed in 1906 under the plans of Frithiof Strandell. It was later renovated under the plans of Erik Bryggman in 1927 and has a functional bell tower, among others.
The church is actually quite hidden from pedestrians. In recent years, there have been suggestions to open up a walkway from Yliopistonkatu to Puutarhakatu for pedestrians and allow them to better admire the church.[1] The Betel Church is listed amongst the most noted buildings of the culture environment in Finland.
In addition to regular services, the church has the vegetarian restaurant KASVIS-ravintola, serving a lunch buffet. The restaurant uses organic and locally grown produce and also has vegan options.[2]
