This Church is also marked by its local history:
This place is an old synagogue built in the 19th century which welcomed from 1836 to 1952 the Israelite community of Aix en Provence, and, notably, the family of Darius Milhaud who married there in 1926.

In 1952, the Eglise Réformée de France (Reformed Church of France) bought the synagogue, and it became a Protestant temple. Two “menorah”, to remember the ancient synagogue, have been preserved and in 1998 a commemorative plaque retracing the history of the place was installed.
The life of this Protestant parish was particularly marked by the minister Henri Manen (Protestant chaplain of the Camp des Milles) and his wife, the minister Marc Donadille and his wife, the minister Raymond Ducasse and his son, the minister Roland de Pury and his wife, all proclaimed «Righteous Among the Nations ».

In 2013, the Eglise Réformée de France merged with the Eglise Evangélique Luthérienne de France (Evangelical Lutheran Church of France) to form the Eglise Protestante Unie de France (United Protestant Church of France).

Today, the temple and the various adjoining rooms receive not only religious activities, but also charitable and cultural ones. The entrance gates are often open and thus allow anyone who wishes to better discover this place and its history.

Church services in English (Church of England) are held every 4th Sunday of the month at 5pm (4pm from October).
