The Fellowship of European International Churches was initiated in 2004 by the Assemblies of God World Missions and Terry & Ruthanne Hoggard, who have served in international church ministry for more than 20 years.

Over their two decades of international ministry in Europe, the Hoggards watched the gradual transformation of Europe from a continent of independent nations with national currencies, languages and cultures, to a continent working toward a unified political, social and geographic landscape through the European Union.

With the recent expansion of the European Union to include 27 member nations, and increased immigration to Europe from the world over; more and more, Europeans are embracing internationalism while internationals are transitioning to European culture. This historical phenomena has created a thriving environment in Europe for international churches to grow and prosper.

The Hoggards responded to this trend by joining with the Assemblies of God World Missions to create the FEIC. Today, they serve as coordinators of this nework, and travel extensively throughout Europe encouraging international church pastors, leadership and their congregations.

The FEIC is a relational network comprised of congregations that minister to the unique opportunities, needs and challenges of international communities in European cities. Our network churches are a tapestry of cultures and traditions, races and people groups, languages and nationalities united under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

We endeavor to build personal relationships, establish a strong network to support members, and empower leaders by offering training and development opportunities.

Our congregations are Christ-centered churches with a three-fold purpose:
To lead people to saving faith in Jesus Christ.
To build people in their relationship with God and others.
To deploy people into servant ministry at home and throughout the world.
