During a family visit to Copenhagen in 1845, Christian Willerup
conducted the first public meetings. In 1856, when he was sent to
Scandinavia as superintendent, the ministry began to take shape, and
from 1858, when Willerup moved to Copenhagen, there were regular
meetings. The first congregation was established in 1859, and in
1865 the church received official approval by the state, according to
The Royal Constitution. In 1911 the Methodist ministry in Denmark
received status as an Annual Conference, at the time there were 53
pastors, 27 congregations, 127 preaching stations and 3,634 members.
