Pentecostal Alfa & Omega Church

 

The first information about Pentecostalism in Turda dates back to 1940, and the first ordained worker was Brother Vasile Muntean, who opened the first church in Turda on Bihorului Street no. 2. Among the first Pentecostal families in Turda, we mention the following: the Deac family, the Trifan family, the Ticudean family, and the Chifor family.

Alongside the children and young people from these families, others joined such as Anuța Rusu, Vasile Gârbovan, Mihăila Rusu, Ioan Crișan, Nicolae Urcan, and many others.

The following ordained brothers who continued the work in Turda for decades were: Brother Petru Gheța, Brother Alexandru Deac, Brother Alexandru Kerekeș, and Brother Andrei Malnași.

In 1972, work began on building the church at its current address: Avram Iancu Street no. 23, a building that was immediately remodeled after the revolution.

In 1973, when the church already had around 200 members, the church choir was organized, and later in 1976, instruments for the brass band were purchased. With the help of the Lord and the involvement of Brother Vasile Bordea and his colleagues, the church enjoyed a beautiful musical work.

After the revolution, starting in 1990, the Pentecostal movement in Turda developed greatly and as a result, other churches were opened in different locations in the city. Today, in Turda, there are 7 Pentecostal churches, 4 of which are formed from the Romani brothers.

The mother church, on Avram Iancu Street no. 23, is called "Biserica Alfa și Omega Turda" and in the last 20 years, it has been pastored by Mircea Deteșan. Alongside him, a beautiful team of servants has formed who care for nearly 20 local churches.
