Church in Pakistan

Christianity is the third largest religion in Pakistan. The other two religions are Muslims and Hindus. According to the 2017 Census, the proportion of Christians in Pakistan was estimated as about 1.27% of the population. Of these, approximately half are Catholic and half Protestant. A small number of Eastern Orthodox Christians and Oriental Orthodox Christians also live in Pakistan.

The census figures for minorities have always been misrepresented in Pakistan and there is general suspicion about the overall population census. We believe that the Christian population could be more than 3% of the population. Even at 3%, the number of Christians in Pakistan should be close to 6.6 million. It is our desire that the Christians should conduct their own census with the help of the Church in Pakistan to come up with accurate population figures.
