With 56,275 members in 2019, it is the largest association of affiliated Pentecostal Denominations in Germany[1] and is the German branch of the Assemblies of God.[2]

History

[edit]

Pentecostalism first came to Germany in 1906–1908, but the BFP was founded in 1954 as the Association of Christian Churches in Germany (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Christengemeinden in Deutschland, ACD).[3] It changed to its current name in 1982. There is a seminary of the German Federation of Pentecostal Churches in the town of Erzhausen: Bible School Beröa also called Theologisches Seminar Beröa.[4][5]
