The Holy Trinity Cathedral belonging to the Russian Orthodox Church was built between 1860–1872 during the Ottoman Empire and is an active religious institution to this day.
Christ Church Ministry Center is an evangelical Anglican congregation, a center of prayer for all nations with worship reflecting the Jewish context of the gospel and celebrating both Jewish and Christian holidays. Considered the first Protestant church in the Middle East it was completed in Jerusalem in 1849 and soon after became known as the Jewish Protestant Church. Founders of CMJ had a great concern for the Jewish people and wanted to share with them the good news of Messiah Jesus. They anticipated the Jewish return to the Land of Israel in fulfillment of what was understood to be Bible prophecy, long before the advent of Zionism, and wanted to be in a position to help that process. The building itself is part of a small compound just inside the Jaffa Gate opposite King David's citadel, consecrated by Bishop Samuel Gobat in 21 January 1849.
