Revision as of 19:01, March 19, 2012 by Irlandos (talk | contribs) (moved Free Apostolic Pentecostal Church to Free Apostolic Church of Pentecost: Better translation)
The Free Apostolic Church of Pentecost (Greek Ελευθέρα Αποστολική Εκκλησία Πεντηκοστής abbreviated EAEP) is a Protestant Pentecostal denomination of Greek Christians.
The Free Apostolic Church of Pentecost was established in 1965 when pastor Leonidas Feggos broke off from the Apostolic Church of Pentecost over a matter of greater affiliation with the parent denomination "Assemblies of God". Keeping the name of the parent church, Dr. Feggos added the word "Free" to indicate his church's independence.
There are roughly 10,000 members in this body who worship in over 120 churches throughout Greece. The group also has three churches in Cyprus and has planted several churches abroad (Germany, Bulgaria, Albania, USA, Australia, etc.)
