The Pentecostal Church of Finland (Finnish: Suomen Helluntaikirkko, SHK) is a Pentecostal Christian denomination in Finland. It is a member of the Pentecostal World Fellowship, Pentecostal European Fellowship and World Assemblies of God Fellowship. Kauko Matikainen is executive manager.[1]

History

The Pentecostal Church of Finland (SHK) was registrated as a religious Finnish community at September 15, 2001. The decision was made at a special meeting at which leaders or delegates from 131 of the Finnish Pentecostal movements 230 congregations were present. The question, however, had older roots; the debate about and inquiry into registration had lasted for a decade.[2]
