Germany's Free Evangelical Churches are reporting a revival in growth, with conversions, baptisms and church attendance all on the rise.

The Church, known as Bund Freier evangelischer Gemeinden, or FeG has  504 congregations and 40,933 members.

The membership is a small fraction in comparison to the two largest churches in the country: the Catholic Church, with 19.2 million members, and the Protestant Church in Germany (EKD), with 17.4 million. However, the FeG's own figures show steady renewed growth after the Covid years, with conversions, baptisms and church attendance all rising.

Christian Today reports that around 2,700 conversions were documented over the latest two-year reporting period, compared with fewer than 2,000 in comparable periods up to 2021. Over four years, the number of people baptised rose by 76%, from 1,491 to 2,624.

Attendance has also recovered. The proportion of members attending services fell to 62% in 2021, during the pandemic. By the end of 2025 it had climbed to 92%.

FeG president Henrik Otto said the data was encouraging but that the church still had work to do.

"We are happy and grateful that we have overcome the Corona-related slump," he said. "At the same time, we are not yet satisfied. The return to previous levels is no reason for us to rest on our laurels."

He added that the federation wants to use the renewed momentum to help more people come to faith, build relationships and mature in their faith.

That data also revealed more people are also taking part in church life without becoming formal members. The federation says the proportion of "friends of the church" compared with members has grown steadily in recent years. It reads this as a sign that its congregations are open to people who haven't formally joined.

The FeG belongs to the Association of Evangelical Free Churches, with around 270,000 members, and to the Council of Christian Churches, which says it represents some 50 million Christians in Germany.
