Christian Network Aims to Unite European and Migrant Churches

Faith Facts

• Dr Israel Oluwole Olofinjana founded a new network to connect European and migrant churches.
• Contested migration remains a significant barrier to Christian unity.
• The initiative seeks to strengthen fellowship across cultural and national lines.

Christian leaders across Europe are working to bridge divides between established congregations and migrant churches. The new network will focus on building relationships that reflect the biblical call to unity in Christ.

Dr Israel Oluwole Olofinjana explained the challenge facing the effort. “Contested migration is a big barrier,” says founder Dr Israel Oluwole Olofinjana.

The initiative comes at a time when churches throughout Europe are seeing growing numbers of believers from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. These new communities bring vitality and fresh expressions of faith, yet they often remain separate from historic denominations.

Founders of the network hope to change that pattern by creating spaces for shared worship, theological dialogue, and practical cooperation. They believe such partnerships honor the unity Christ prayed for in John 17.
