New official data reveals that almost 2% of the Spanish population now identifies as Protestant or evangelical.
In the 20 years to 2018, this group multiplied eightfold, to become the fastest-growing denomination in the country. And those evangelicals are now worshipping in well over 4,200 churches across Spain, opening on average 16 new churches a month.
These striking latest figures, compiled by the Spanish Government’s Observatory of Religious Pluralism, place Adventists and Anglicans within the evangelical category, but the largest evangelical denominations in Spain are the Assemblies of God, Baptists, Brethren, and many independent churches.
