Czech Republic
History of the Assemblies of God in the Czech Republic By the 1920Ős there were groups of Pentecostal believers in several cities that united to become the Resolute Christian Fellowship. But Nazi occupation of the country and Communist rule began to change things. The Pentecostals were forced to go underground and keep gatherings secret. The church leaders were persecuted and imprisoned because they tried to found a legal Pentecostal church. This was a dark time for the movement and many Christians strayed as a result of having no leadership. The Church once again began to flourish as different cities began to band together and called themselves the Pentecostal Resolute Christians. This church consisted mostly of the common people. But as more people joined, the printing of literature was organized and in 1977 they were officially registered as the Pentecostal Church. At that time the church movement had 170 members.
