Minsk church "The Blahadać" (The Grace church) is the main church of the United Church of Christians of the Evangelical Faith in Belarus. The building was built in 1996 and is one of the largest Christian churches in the capital, which can simultaneously accommodate more than 3,000 people. Near the building of the church, the educational and living units of the Theological Institute of Christians of the Evangelical Faith are located.

The Blahadać Church in Minsk is part of the United Church of Evangelical Christians in Belarus. The community has existed for over 30 years. Today the church has more than two and a half thousand adult believers and one and a half thousand children. Temple attendance is currently open and affordable. However, during the Soviet period, the activities of the evangelical church were half banned. Because of this, in 1984, the Council for Religious Cults under the Council of Ministers of the BSSR deregistered the First Minsk Church of the Evangelical Christians. The church went underground and fought for 2 years to regain registration. At that time, it consisted of 632 believers. In independent Belarus, all restrictions were lifted and the church was registered under the name "Blahadać". Today the Minsk church of Evangelical Christians in Belarus "Blahadać" is the largest Protestant church in Belarus.

The Theological Institute of Evangelical Christians, a religious educational institution preparing ministers for the Evangelical Church of Belarus, is also located at Hurskaha Street 48. Today, 470 students and undergraduates study at the Theological Institute. The Institute hosts various events, including scientific historical conferences with the participation of scientists from the largest universities in Belarus and foreign countries.
