History

"Sinode Jemaat Kristen" was founded by Adi Sutanto. The fellowship began as an evangelistic association called Yayasan Keluarga Sangkakala "trumpet". Sutanto Adi started a small prayer group with 8 people in 1977 that grew to large formal gatherings in '79. Sutanto saw the beginning of a congregation forming and went to the GKMI (Gereja Kristen Muriah Indonesia), where he was a member at this time, and asked to join with the GKMI. Sutanto's fellowship had a unique and evangelical worship style (speaking in tongues, faith healing, prophetic words and visions) that the GKMI did not support. [2] The GKMI and Sutanto met, but the GKMI required the charismatic worship style to be dropped in order to be part of the church. There was a split within the GKMI church as this time due to disagreements and the GKMII was formed under Dr. Lukas, a relative of Sutanto. The GKMII joined Sutanto's fellowship and in 1985 the "Jemaat Kristen Indonesia" was officially formed. [3]
