Yoshkar-Ola Christian Center (YOCC) was founded in 1993, in the Mari-El Republic, Russia, by one of our elders, Pastor Robert Benlien and his family, assisted by a large church planting team from GTCOTR. The church began with the preaching of the Gospel in street evangelism and evening meetings in a large auditorium, and is a thriving and regionally influential church now pastored by Pastor Alexander Viktorov and his wife Dina, assisted by Pastor Natalia Ocherednichenko. Pastor Sergey Gorokhov, a pastor who was converted in his teens, pastored in Yoshkar-Ola and then transitioned to the city of Kazan.

Pastor Sergey and and his family started the growing Restoration Center which strategically shares Christ in Kazan, a large city with Russia’s largest concentration of Muslims. Currently, they hold 4 services on Sunday with 300 attending plus youth and children. They plan to break ground on a new 600 seat church this fall. Pastor Sergey continues to give advice and guidance to pastors and churches all over the region, and they have sent a new church planter to the city of Perm, as well as Pastor Viktorov and his wife to Yoshkar-Ola, and are helping churches in Cheboksary and Samara.
