A brief history of FrikirkeNet

During the 1990s, there were various forms of outreach and collaboration across free church denominations. The positive experiences from this increased common ground meant that a group of people from different free church denominations met in 1999 to explore the possibilities for even closer cooperation.

At the top of the wish list were resources for the mission-oriented work of the free churches. The idea was that increased collaboration would free up more resources for this core task. There was also a desire for a joint representation in the public sphere, so that the free churches would not leave the entire arena of religious public debate to the National Church and the Muslim community. Together, they could promote public understanding of the free churches as a credible and significant player in Danish society.

These conversations resulted in the formation of FrikirkeNet in 2004. Initially, more than 50 churches joined the network. The members came from Pentecostal churches, the Apostolic Church, the Baptist Church, independent churches, and house churches.

Later, churches from several other free church denominations, as well as schools, aid centers, associations, and organizations, joined.

The first visible expressions of FrikirkeNet were a press service, a monthly magazine, regional leadership gatherings, and an annual national leadership conference. In 2017, the magazine was discontinued, and with the appointment of a secretary-general, the focus shifted toward representing free churches in the public sphere and engaging in dialogue and collaboration with other societal actors.
