EFG Wiedenest - Evangelisch-Freikirchliche Gemeinde Wiedenest

Our church was founded in 1921 due to a spontaneous onset of winter. Up until that day, the staff of the Forum Wiedenest e.V. (as it is called today) and their families always visited the church service in Bergneustadt.
In February 1921 this was not possible due to the snow and so they came together for the first time to take the Lord‘s supper in the halls of Forum Wiedenest e.V. This is thought of as the founding moment of the EFG Wiedenest.
In 1919 the Forum Wiedenest e.V. moved from Berlin to Wiedenest. It was founded as the Alliance-Bible-School in 1905 and is part of the so-called Open Brethren Churches (Georg Müller), which are also known as Evangelical Free Churches today.
Over the years, other churches where founded as daughter churches of the EFG Wiedenest (EFG Hackenberg and EFG Olpe).
In 1999 the church moved from the campus of the bible-school into their new building at Bahnhofstraße 28.
Their 90 year anniversary was celebrated in 2011.
