The Mission Covenant Church of Sweden (Swedish: Svenska Missionskyrkan – until 2003 Svenska Missionsförbundet 'Swedish Mission Covenant'), founded in 1878, was a Swedish evangelical free church in the Radical Pietist tradition.[1] It was the second-largest Protestant denomination in Sweden, after the national church, the Church of Sweden. In 2011, the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden completed a merger with two other denominations, resulting in the new denomination Uniting Church in Sweden (in Swedish: Equmeniakyrkan). The denomination was a member of the Swedish Free Church Council, the International Federation of Free Evangelical Churches,[2] and the World Communion of Reformed Churches.
