Protestants in Haiti are a significant minority of the population.

Protestantism was officially recognised in the country in 1985. ^[1]

Demographics [ edit ]

The CIA Factbook reported that approximately 28.5% of the population is Protestant (Baptist 15.4%, Pentecostal 7.9%, Adventist 3%, Methodist 1.5% other 0.7%). ^[2]

A Haitian Government survey in 2017 ^[3] noted that 35% of the population are Protestant. Figures from 2020 suggest that this is now at 19%. ^[4]

Denominations [ edit ]

Protestant churches of significant size include the Assemblees de Dieu , the Convention Baptiste d'Haiti , the Seventh-day Adventists , the Church of God (Cleveland) , the Anglican/Episcopal Church , the Methodist Church in the Caribbean and Americas , the Church of the Nazarene and the Mission Evangelique Baptiste du Sud-Haiti .

In 2022, about 60% of Protestant churches in the country are part of the Federation Protestante d'Haiti ; this group include Methodists, Lutherans , Presbyterians , Pentecostals , the Salvation Army and others. ^[5]

Whereas a very small amount of Catholic Haitians combine their faith with aspects of Vodou , this practice is much more rare among Haitian Protestants, whose churches tend to strongly denounce Vodou as diabolical. ^[6]
