FX International
Fresh Expressions began in the UK, but it’s now a growing worldwide movement. Check out the different nations pioneering new contextual forms of church, maybe your country is next?
“A Fresh Expression is a form of church for our changing culture established primarily for the benefit if people who are not yet members of any church.”
Over 20 years ago, the Fresh Expressions movement started in the UK, igniting a wave of new and contextual forms of church. Today, this movement spans across the globe, with nations like Australia, the USA, Germany, and South Africa developing fresh ways to engage their communities in faith. As God’s people, we’ve been pioneering for over 2000 years, and Fresh Expressions continues this legacy by learning from diverse cultural contexts and adapting mission to meet today’s challenges.
The growth of Fresh Expressions has been fueled by international collaboration through conferences and learning communities. These gatherings provide space for us to share stories, resources, and reflections, and to explore how different contexts shape our approach to mission. Together, we seek to learn from one another and strengthen the global movement.

Fresh Expressions Austria
In the beginning there was longing! This is how the group of those who have been meeting at regular intervals (currently in Salzburg) since 2017 came about to think about how to bring the Fresh X idea to the Austrian community on the one hand and how to put ideas that have already arisen into practice on the other can implement. It’s about exchange, encouragement and inspiration, but also about very specific work on events and projects.

NEW WAYS TO BE CHURCH SWEDEN
New ways to be a church is the Swedish translation of Fresh Expressions of Church. New ways to be a church in Sweden is a network that has existed since 2013. We are a number of priests and lay people in the Church of Sweden and EFS who want to take advantage of the experiences from FX. The network wants to spread knowledge about basic ideas from fx, but also draw attention to what congregations in Sweden already do that carry similar content.
FRESH EXPRESSIONS SWITZERLAND
The track group was formed in 2011. It has already organized several conferences on the topic and so-called “round tables”, which primarily deal with the exchange of existing projects. The task of the track group is to promote networking among people who are interested in new forms of church expression or who are already involved in an fx. It communicates the vision, theory and practice of the fx movement to interested parties, existing projects and churches. In addition, it promotes the development of fx in Switzerland through observation, documentation and reflection and supports possible fx in the church recognition process.
