History of the Assemblies of God in Croatia

Pentecostal churches began to emerge in Croatia in the 1930Ős but were heavily restricted during World War II. After the war, these churches saw their growth resume and in 1954 the Pentecostal churches were organized as the "Christ Pentecostal Church" and began to expand but they faced many difficulties under Communist rule.

In 1989, the "Christ Pentecostal Church" was reorganized as the Evangelical Church in Croatia and is now the leading denomination in that country. The church publishes the largest evangelical magazine in Croatia as well as a childŐs magazine. There is also an interdenominational womanŐs magazine that they publish.
