Today
The American Church continues to minister to many Anglophone Protestants in Paris, with multicultural programming, and a congregation of over nearly 40 nations and 35 Christian denominations.
The church is led in worship by the senior pastor, the associate pastor, the youth pastor and a retired pastor who handles all weddings. Its staff are also diverse in terms of background and denomination. It is run by a church council represented by a committee of ministries namely: Congregational Nurture, Christian Education, Development, Finance, Membership and Evangelism, Property, Social Concerns, Stewardship and Worship and Music. The building hosts two bilingual nursery schools, a variety of Twelve-step program recovery groups, fitness classes, kung fu, basketball leagues, a free concert series, an "Ad Board" for housing and job opportunities, and many more community-based services are housed in the Church building.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“How many things served us but yesterday as articles of faith, which today we deem but fables?”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Give me insight into today and you may have the antique and future worlds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
