Architect Tadeusz Jędrzejewski developed new plans for the monumental church. On 11 April 1939 the construction of the parish house was started. Services were also celebrated in Tczew, Starogard and the Free City of Danzig. Unfortunately, the outbreak of World War II in September 1939 destroyed the Polish Parish completely. Rev. Jerzy Kahané was imprisoned and murdered by the Nazis in 1941, a few parishioners also died as a result of persecution, many were expelled from the city. After the war, since 1945 the seat of the parish has been the city of Sopot. The Polish services in Gdynia were celebrated in the Swedish Seaman’s House until about 1970. In 2006 the Gdynia SKUT branch was also liquidated.

After the cancellation of the previous minister as a result of disagreements with parishioners (see Part 1), in February 1937 Gdynia got the next pastor, Rev. Jerzy Kahané. Polish protestants established close contacts with the Swedish Lutheran community, and soon moved from the classroom to the chapel in the Swedish Sailors' Home (the Svenska Sjömenskyrkan of the SKUT – The Church of Sweden Abroad), where the chaplain was Rev. Daniel Cederberg. Parish life revived, and were founded the Ladies Circle and a youth association. Celebrations were held on the occasion of state ceremonies, attended by representatives of the local authorities. In November 1938, were approved plans to build a church. At the same time, the Society of Polish Evangelicals in the Free City of Danzig was founded, for which in the English Church pastor Kahané celebrated the first service.

In the borders of the present city of Gdynia for years about 1568-1572 to 1945 there was a Lutheran community in the old village of Mały Kack (also known as Redłowo, now part of the district Gdynia-Orłowo), which in the nineteenth and twentieth century served local German population. In 1931, Adolf Martens, the builder, with the help of Rev. Gustav Manitius from Poznan and the organizing committee proceeded to create a Polish parish for the Lutherans and Reformed arrived in the 20's due to the con-struction of the seaport and the city, a network of around 300 people. This initiative has met with great favour of the city authorities, which provided lots for a new church and cemetery. The first service Polish Lutheran con¬gregation celebrated July 19, 1931, in the hall of the School of Maritime Trade. From 18 October administrator was Rev. Leopold Michelis and soon published project to build a modern church and parish house with a nursery. Stabilization of the parish made it difficult disputes with the pastor and fi-nancial concerns that prevented the implementation of plans. Only in 1937 the appointment of a new pastor, which was Rev. Jerzy Kahané, brought the start of vast change for the better (see Part 2).
