The State of Missions in Czech Republic
Missions in Czech Republic are shaped by one of Europe’s most secular societies despite a remarkable Reformation heritage, the legacy of Jan Hus, the Unity of the Brethren, and later evangelical free-church movements, and six unreached peoples, while the larger challenge is reaching secular Czechs with little personal connection to Christianity. 6 unreached people groups remain, representing about 12,200 people; Jewish.

A History of God's Faithfulness in Czech Republic
Czech Republic’s evangelical missions story is closely tied to this history: the Hussite movement and Moravian Brethren shaped global Christian history; communist rule later suppressed churches before religious freedom returned in 1989. Over time, responsibility increasingly shifted toward local pastors, evangelists, teachers, and churches rather than remaining primarily in foreign hands. Political change, migration, conflict, or secularization reshaped the movement in different eras.
-
Early Beginnings
Jan Hus and the Hussite movement made the Czech lands an early center of European church reform.
-
1900s
The Unity of the Brethren and later Moravian movement carried Czech spiritual influence into global missionary history.
-
Independence Era
Communist rule after 1948 restricted churches and reinforced secularization across an already changing Czech society.
-
Modern Movement
Religious freedom returned in 1989, allowing evangelical congregations, ministries, and theological training to rebuild openly.
-
Today
Czech believers now pursue patient witness among one of Europe's most secular populations, especially in cities and universities.
