Protestant Church of Djibouti

In Djibouti, approximately 1% of the population is Protestant.[1]

There are several Protestant denominations in the country, including Reformed, Lutheran, Baptist, Adventist and Mennonite.[2]

The Protestant Evangelic Church of Djibouti was established in 1960 by the army chaplains of French troops. After independence the church buildings became the property of the Federation of Protestant Churches. The single parish developed rapidly, regular worship lives and Bible schools were created, and they supported refugee work. The church works with Christians from several countries including Congo, Burundi, France and the US.[3]
