St. Anne's Church in the past 7 years has gone from a burned-out building to the most visited Lutheran Church in Russia.    The church hosts over 1,000 events each year.    From small lectures and workshops to large exhibitions on biblical themes that are attended by about 1,000 people daily. This has made the church a very well-known landmark in St. Petersburg. St Anne also offers a course called "The Basics of the Christian Faith", which for some, has become the first step to personal faith. In 7 years the church has grown from 5 members to 150.
