History
The Free Evangelical Church was founded from a conjunction of various Protestant churches in Greece.
This effort was begun in 1886 in Chania, Crete by two English women who worked in the UK Consulate
of Chania. At the same time in Athens the Church of Christian Brethren was founded by the Irishman
Henry Devine. A second church was created in Patras by Theofanis Zaferopoulos, which got help from
Swiss Open Brethren. In 1911 Athanasios Katsarkas founded churches in Komotini and Andrianoupolis,
while in 1914 they were transported to Thessalonica, and afterwards they also expanded into other regions.
In Athens the main worker of the Free Evangelical Church was Kostas Metallinos. It is believed that Kostas
Metallinos was the main founder of the Communion.
