The Pentecostal Union of Romania (Romanian: Uniunea Penticostală din România) or the Apostolic Church of God (Romanian: Biserica lui Dumnezeu Apostolică) is Romania's fourth-largest religious body and one of its eighteen officially recognised religious denominations. At the 2021 census, some 404,000 Romanians declared themselves to be Pentecostals (2.1% of the population).[2] Ethnically, as of 2002, they were 85.2% Romanians, 10.6% Roma, 1.9% Ukrainians, 1.8% Hungarians and 0.5% belonged to other groups.[3] They have 1,343 churches, 7,879 affiliates and 354 pastors,[4][5] along with strong lay leadership.[6] The denomination originates in the early 1920s and, headed by a central leadership, is divided into nine regional communities: Arad, Braşov, Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Constanţa, Oradea, Oltenia-Argeş (Craiova), Maramureş-Sătmar (Baia Mare) and Suceava.[7] Membership is concentrated in Crişana, Banat and northern Moldavia.[4]
