History

The Pentecostal Church of Finland (SHK) was registered as a religious Finnish community on September 15, 2001. The decision was made at a special meeting at which leaders or delegates from 131 of the Finnish Pentecostal movements 230 congregations were present. The question, however, had older roots; the debate about and inquiry into registration had lasted for a decade. [2]
