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.
