The origins of the Saint Paul Union Church can be traced back to 1996 when a dedicated group from a local women's organization recognized the need for an international church in the city. Their tireless efforts attracted Christian workers who collaborated to establish the church. Originally known as the International Church of Antalya, it underwent a name change in 2004, becoming the Saint Paul Union Church (SPUC). This change coincided with its recognition as the first Protestant church non-profit (dernek) in the Republic of Turkey.
