The Free Baptist Union (Swedish Fribaptistsamfundet)) was a Swedish baptist denomination that began in 1872, when baptist preacher Helge Åkesson was expelled from the Baptist Union of Sweden, after having been accused of heresy.[1]
The Free Baptist Union gained followers in Scania, Gotland, Dalarna and some other places in Sweden. In the early 1900's, the denomination peaked at around 5000 members.[2]
In 1994, the Free Baptist Union merged with the Holiness Union, forming a denomination that in 1997 merged with the Örebro Mission to form what is today the Evangelical Free Church in Sweden.
