The Free Baptist Union (Swedish: Fribaptistsamfundet) was an association of Baptist Christian churches in Swedish that began in 1872, when Baptist preacher Helge Åkeson [sv] was expelled from the Baptist Union of Sweden, after having been accused of heresy.[2]
The Free Baptist Union gained followers mainly in Scania, Gotland, Dalarna, Västmanland and Västergötland. In the early 1900s, the denomination peaked at around 5000 members.[3]
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.[4]
