Church Association for the Inner Mission in Denmark

The movement was influential in temperance work, various collective initiatives in rural communities, and other efforts to 'civilise' the people of the 19th century.

Many poor people found in the movement a community where they could be on equal terms with more wealthy members of society, as it stressed Christian fellowship through a variety of group activities.

The founding family of the Lego company and many of its workers in the central Jutland village of Billund were adherents of the Inner Mission movement.

Traditionally, the Inner Mission's stronghold was rural western Jutland, but many communities elsewhere in Denmark, such as Haslev on Zealand and some towns, have been influenced by the movement.

The first part of Ken Follett's novel Hornet Flight is set in Nazi-occupied Denmark during World War II, where a West Jutland community is dominated by the Inner Mission.
