the challenge
The church is no stranger in Europe, but having a cultural affinity to a religion is different than following Christ. Church buildings and established congregations exist throughout Europe, but many churches have not changed as their communities and demographics have shifted. For this reason, the once-influential church has lost its relevance in most places.
Revitalizing the Church
Revitalizing an existing congregation is often the best option—in churches that desire to be revitalized. Many throughout Europe want fresh vision but lack personnel to make it happen. Our relationships with national churches give us front-row seats to some incredible church growth happening in Europe.
The Role of International Churches
Fellowship of European International Churches (FEIC) is the only Pentecostal network of international churches in Europe. It exists to relationally connect congregations that minister to the unique opportunities, needs, and challenges of international communities in European cities. Its churches provide places where people can feel accepted and valued for who they are and not judged by their passport or the circumstances that brought them.
The vision
Church planting and revitalization are key to our ministry in Europe. Ultimately, our goal is to inspire revitalization so churches can become healthy church-planting churches, each with its own missional strategy to reach marginalized and secular Europeans.
