In around AD 50 or 51, the apostle Paul established the first Christian church in Europe. This church was located in Philippi, strategically located along a trade highway that connected Europe to Asia. The initial converts were Gentiles, and the congregation developed into a predominantly Gentile fellowship. Paul cited the church at Philippi as a model for others to follow.
Scriptures referenced include Philippians 1:16; Acts 16:8-10, 13-40; Philippians 4:15; 2 Corinthians 11:9; 2 Corinthians 8:1–5; 2 Corinthians 9:1-5; Philippians 4:10-19; and Philippians 4:2–7.
