The rise of evangelical Protestantism in Spain: remarkable growth
The Spanish religious landscape is experiencing a significant evolution, marked by the dynamism of evangelical churches. In February 2025, the observatory of religious pluralism in Spain revealed impressive figures, testifying to the vitality of this religious community.
Sustained growth
THE Evangelical churches in Spain have reached a new record with 4,455 places of worship distributed throughout the territory. This notable increase represents an increase of 96 new places of worship in just one year, emphasizing the speed of this expansion.
An expanding phenomenon
This spectacular growth is not an isolated fact. Since 2011, where there have been less than 3,000 evangelical Protestant places, the movement has continued to grow. Today, evangelicals represent approximately 2.6% of the Spanish population, making Protestantism the second religious name in the countryjust behind Catholicism.
The factors of this growth
Several elements explain this phenomenon:
- Latin American immigration : It plays a crucial role in this expansion, bringing with it a strong evangelical tradition.
- The dynamism of communities : Evangelical churches are known for their modern approach and their community commitment.
- The evolution of the Spanish religious landscape : There is a diversification of religious beliefs and practices in the country.
An impact on the Spanish company
This Evolution of the Spanish religious landscape raises questions about the integration and coexistence of different religious communities. It also testifies to a changing society, where cultural and religious diversity takes an increasing place.
The rise of evangelical Protestantism in Spain is a phenomenon that deserves to be followed closely. It not only reflects demographic changes but also a deeper transformation of Spanish society, opening the way to increasingly assertive religious pluralism.
