Protestantism in Mongolia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Protestant Christian churches in Mongolia are Lutheran, Presbyterians, Seventh-day Adventists and various evangelical Protestant groups. Mongolian Evangelical Alliance estimates there are 35,000 Protestant Christians in Mongolia.

Protestant Christian teaching did not reach Mongolia until the mid 1800s, brought by missionaries such as James Gilmour. The rise of a Communist government in Mongolia caused the number of Protestant followers to rapidly decrease.

The country has a local Christian TV station, Eagle Television[1], and a pro-Christian radio station, Family Radio.

Seventh-day Adventist Church[2] has around 1,200 members[3] and a language school in Ulaanbaatar.
