History
The Pentecostal revival first arrived in Nurmijärvi in the 1940s. In the 1970s, a prayer circle was established in Nurmijärvi, supported by the Pentecostal Church of Hyvinkää and the Saalem Church in Helsinki. An independent Pentecostal church was established on 7 June 1987, with Pentti Tarvonen as its first pastor.[6] The building of the Nurmijärvi Pentecostal Church was completed in 1988 and it was designed by architect Veikko Gröhn.[7]
