The Pasundan Christian Church (Indonesian: Gereja Kristen Pasundan - GKP) was officially established in Indonesia (then Netherlands East Indies) on 14 November 1934; 90 years ago (1934-11-14).
[2][3][4] Whilst Indonesia was predominantly a Muslim country, the early Christian church in Indonesia was founded by Dutch missionaries, in the western part of Java island in 1863; 162 years ago (1863).
Meanwhile, a Dutch layman collected some converts using less orthodox methods, with the forms of the Javanese magical learning.
[2] The Pasundan Christian Church has collaborated with Basel Mission from Switzerland,[2] the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (Gereja Protestan di Belanda, Dutch: de Protestantse Kerk in Nederland, abbreviated PKN), and the Indonesia Christian Church (Gereja Kristen Indonesia, GKI) of the West Java Regional Synod.
It has also pioneered the establishment of the Indonesian Christian Teacher Education College, itself the forerunner of the Satya Wacana Christian University (SWCU, Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana), Salatiga.
