The Church in Thyatira
The Bible does not record the founding of Thyatira. It is possible that Lydia and her household participated in starting the church at Thyatira (Acts 16:14).
Most likely, the church there was founded as an outreach of Paul’s ministry at Ephesus (Acts 19:10)
Acts 16:14 - Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul.
Acts 19:10 - And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
