From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The existence of Protestants in Angola dates back to the late 19th century and in some places predates Portuguese colonial missionaries. Many of the nationalist independence leaders were raised as protestants, including Jonas Savimbi. An estimated 10%-20% of Angolans were Protestant as of the late 1980s.
The government of Angola recognizes 11 Protestant denominations:
- Assembly of God,
- Baptist Convention of Angola,
- Baptist Evangelical Church of Angola,
- Congregational Evangelical Church of Angola,
- Evangelical Church of Angola,
- Evangelical Church of South-West Angola,
- Our Lord Jesus Christ Church in the World (Kimbanguist),
- Reformed Evangelical Church of Angola,
- Seventh-day Adventist Church: 306,569 members[1]
- Union of Evangelical Churches of Angola
- United Methodist Church
