On June 17, 1889, the temple was completed and consecrated in the presence of Prince Ferdinand I and the city mayor, Dimitar Petkov, who both donated sums towards the cost of construction and furnishing the church. At the beginning of the 20th century, to the church is established the only Evangelical orphanage in Bulgaria, closed in 1948.

The British–American air raid of January 10, 1944 partially destroyed the building of the First Evangelical Church. After the war, it was restored to its original form. Five pastors, repressed by the totalitarian regime, have served there. Today, it is the head church in the Union of Evangelical Cathedral Churches in Bulgaria, founded in 1888.
