The Free Evangelical Congregations project is a groundbreaking endeavor that delves into the intricate theological framework of a rapidly expanding church. This project, unlike any before it, conducts a comprehensive church-theoretical study, encompassing both historical analysis and empirical data. These empirical data are derived from a comprehensive member survey conducted in autumn 2019, involving a total of 1,100 members from free evangelical congregations. The results of this survey hold the promise of providing profound and nuanced insights into the unique characteristics of the free evangelical church model. Furthermore, the survey was designed in alignment with the fifth church membership survey conducted by the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD), enabling fruitful comparisons and connections between various church forms. Moreover, the project offers valuable interdenominational suggestions for the future of the church. By undertaking this comprehensive study, the Free Evangelical Congregations project contributes significantly to the ongoing discourse about the future of Christianity and its various denominations.
