In 1856, the Danish-American pastor Christian Willerup founded the first Methodist church in Fredrikstad. He was sent from America where the Norwegian sailor Ole Peter Petersen had established a Norwegian- Danish Methodist church a few years earlier, and now it was time for some of the immigrants to go back home and tell their fellow citizens about their new experience of faith. After only some twenty years, the movement had grown to an actual annual conference with almost 3000 members. Despite quite a few crisis, the church continued to grow steadily.
