First, the UK – that godless bastion of Europe:
| Angl- ican | Bap- tists | Indep. | Meth- odist | New churches | Pente- costal | Presb- yterian | Smaller Denoms | |
| Opening | +34 | +84 | +118 | +5 | +267 | +668 | +5 | +1,460 |
| Closing | -238 | -143 | -154 | -337 | -17 | -4 | -248 | -43 |
| net diff. | -204 | -63 | -36 | -332 | +250 | +664 | -243 | +1,417 |
Now, while this is a few years ago, it still shows that more churches are opening than closing – and remember, these numbers rarely include house churches.
And, on the heel of the news that the AoG no longer requires Young Earth Creationism, they opened nearly 400 churches in 2011.
I dunno… that war thing better get going.
Being ordained with AG (none of us ever used AoG..it’s AG), Pentecostalism has always been growing especially in Muslim and Hindu Nations. To be fair, the AG church in Europe are EXTREMELY tiny, with an average of 20 people.(Which is extremely large in Europe however)
