What is FrikirkeNet?

FrikirkeNet has four areas of focus:

That Danes perceive free churches as trust-building and community-engaged churches that stand for classical Christianity in a contemporary form.
To promote the preaching of the Christian message in Denmark and to ensure good conditions for this, including freedom of religion.
To strengthen unity and cooperation between Christian churches and organizations.
To work in collaboration with others for the propagation of the Christian view of God and man, including the belief in the dignity of the individual human being.

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 led a group of people from different free church denominations to meet in 1999 to explore the possibilities for even closer cooperation.

At the top of the wish list were resources for the missional task of the free churches. The idea was that through increased cooperation, more resources could be freed up for this core mission. There was also a desire to have a joint representation in the public eye, 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 joined, as well as schools, aid centers, associations, and organizations.

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 general secretary, the focus shifted toward representing free churches in the public sphere and engaging in dialogue and collaboration with other societal stakeholders.
