Nantes' evangelical landscape is shaped mainly by the Pentecostal and Full Gospel streams. The Église Évangélique de Pentecôte de Nantes belongs to the Assemblées de Dieu de France (ADD), the country's main Pentecostal union, while the Mission Évangélique Internationale (MEISTAD) is affiliated with the FEPEF, a federation gathering Full Gospel churches across the French-speaking world. Vertical Nantes rounds out the picture with a more contemporary approach and no publicly stated denominational affiliation. Together, these communities reflect the diversity of evangelical expression found across the greater Nantes area.
