In total the member churches have about 250,000 members, with almost double that figure involved in the churches' activities. The largest member church is the Uniting Church in Sweden, with approximately 85,000 members.

The free churches belong to various Protestant denominations: Baptists, Methodists, Reformed, Pentecostal etc. Most of the free church denominations in Sweden began during the nineteenth century when an evangelical revival broke out. The Swedish free church family has many branches, often quite different, but united in the common bond of the necessity of a personal faith.

gollark: Also, as I have chosen to ignore all """love""" forever, I am not """"gay"""" and this is not applicable.
gollark: I don't really care about it being osmarks.something and I'd like a shorter one which has approximately the same spirit.
gollark: Thus, domain suggestions?
gollark: Anyway, I wish to replace osmarks.tk™ with a shiny new domain for the 8th millenium gollarkic era™. One without the fear of it being randomly unexisted and on which I can actually change what the apex domain points to without weird DNS issues.
