Protestantism in El Salvador
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although nominally Roman Catholic, Protestantism is growing rapidly in El Salvador and already represents more than 20% of the population.[1] Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist and Seventh-Day Adventist churches are all growing rapidly, as are Pentecostals.
First CAM missionaries arrived in El Salvador in the 1890s. Today there are more than 150 CAM churches representing some 13,000 believers.
First Seventh-Day Adventist missionaries came in 1915[2], today there are estimated 150,000 Adventists in El Salvador[3]. Adventist Church also has FM radio station in the capital city San Salvador called "La Voz del Evangelio Eterno"[4], as well as a number of schools within the Seventh-day Adventist education system.
