Ancient Corinth: The Apostle Paul’s Legacy
Nestled between the Aegean and Ionian seas, Ancient Corinth was a thriving city-state in classical Greece. Known for its wealth, culture, and strategic location, it became a central hub for early Christianity. The Apostle Paul arrived in Corinth around 50 AD, spending 18 months preaching and establishing one of the first Christian communities in Greece.
While in the city, Paul faced opposition and even legal challenges, famously appearing before the Bema (Judgment Seat) to defend his faith. His letters to the Corinthians, found in the New Testament, offer valuable insights into the struggles and growth of the early Church. Today, visitors to Corinth can walk in Paul’s footsteps, exploring ruins such as the Temple of Apollo, the Agora, and the Bema.
Experience the timeless impact of Paul’s ministry in this ancient city of faith and history.

Aquila and Priscilla: Faithful Servants Then and Now
Aquila and Priscilla were a devoted Christian couple who played a vital role in the ministry of the Apostle Paul.

Their home became a place of worship, discipleship, and hospitality—a model of the early Church in action.
Partners in Christ: The Legacy of Aquila, Priscilla, and Paul
This faithful couple helped teach Apollos, a powerful preacher, and remained trusted partners in Paul’s mission. Their story reminds us that ordinary believers, through love, service, and bold witness, can help shape the Church.
Today, Aquila and Priscilla inspire families, couples, and leaders to live out the Gospel in their homes and communities, showing that ministry is not just in the pulpit but in everyday life, rooted in faith and fellowship.

The ancient port of Cenchreae, located just east of Corinth, holds deep significance in the New Testament story. It was from this very harbor that the Apostle Paul set sail for Syria after his ministry in Corinth (Acts 18:18). Cenchreae was more than a gateway—it was home to a vibrant early Christian community.
Here, Phoebe, a deaconess of the church in Cenchreae, was entrusted by Paul to deliver his powerful Letter to the Romans (Romans 16:1). Her role highlights the vital leadership of women in the early Church.

Today, Isthmia welcomes visitors to the modern Corinth Canal, a marvel of 19th-century engineering that dramatically cuts through rock and unites two seas. For faith travelers, Isthmia is more than a stop—it’s a symbol of movement and mission. Just as Paul traveled this region to spread the Gospel, modern believers walk the same soil, reminded that God’s message still crosses every boundary.
