About our Church
La Siesta Evangelical Church is an ecumenical English-speaking congregation comprised of people from many denominations: Church of England, Methodist, United Reformed Church, Church of Scotland, Scottish Presbyterian, Congregational churches, and many others. Located in the coastal town of Torrevieja (and less than 10 mins from the city center), we welcome people who are only visiting the area on holiday or for a brief visit, as well as long-term residents of the area. Our church is a member of the Iglesia Evangélica Española (IEE) in the Levante Presbytery in partnership with Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church. (Note: “Evangélica” in Spanish simply means Protestant. We are not affiliated with the US evangelical movement.) We are a diverse community that is welcoing and accepting of ALL people regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, ability, or age. Our inclusive community believes that everyone is worthy of value and made in the image of God, and that it is a gift that we are called to care for all people as God cares for us.
Our faith community has approximately 60 members, with 30-60 in attendance each week. We are immigrants from other countries, gathering together in intentional community. We also have a reach throughout the world, supporting the mission work of Tracey Williams at an orphanage in Mozambique and missions in other parts of the world.
In order to provide more opportunities to give to our community, we are sharing the Bank account information of our church for people who wish to give online. Note that if you live outside of Spain, you will need both the Account Number (IBAN) and the BIC/SWIFT Code to transfer funds to the church account. Note also that the Church is charged an 18 Euro fee for any donation outside of the EU (according to the Bank Officials at Sabadell Bank), so please only do transfer donations for 20 Euro or more. If you are sending funds from a Spanish bank, you will only need the Account Number (IBAN).

If you are a person who regularly attends the church, and you are heading out of Spain for any lengthy amount of time, we would appreciate it if you made an online payment from your bank, or deposit any funds you would like to give in the weekly offering collection before leaving, to help sustain our church.
