History

Students for Christ Europe as we know it today, began with a small group of students on the Technical University in Munich, Germany in 1981. However, pentecostal campus ministry in Europe goes back further than that.

Students for Christ (SfC) in Europe has its roots in the Assemblies of God (AG) church of the United States. Much of the foundational philosophy originated in the AG student ministry called Chi Alpha.

Jerry and Pat Sandidge, the national leader of Chi Alpha USA, came to Europe in the early 1970’s to pioneer student ministries. Shortly after they founded a ministry called University Action (UA) in Leuven, Belgium, the university was divided between French and Flemish.
