Congregação Cristã no Brasil
Main church in São Paulo
Congregação Cristã no Brasil (CCB) is a Pentecostal church in Brazil .
The Church was founded in 1910 by the American-Italian missionary Luigi Francescon (1866–1964) in Brazil. His ten mission trips through Brazil were particularly successful among Italian immigrants. The foundation of the church was part of the first wave of Pentecostalism in Brazil. In addition to the Assemblies of God Church , which began in 1910 with the American-Swedish missionaries Daniel Berg and Gunnar Vingren , the Congregação Cristã no Brasil is one of the first Pentecostal Churches to be founded in Brazil. The denomination's headquarters are in São Paulo , where the main church is located.
