Christianity is the predominant religion in Gibraltar, with Roman Catholicism representing the largest denomination (roughly 72–84% of the population) under the Diocese of Gibraltar. The territory is also home to a significant Anglican community, centered at the Holy Trinity Cathedral, alongside Methodists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and a growing evangelical/charismatic presence.
Key Aspects of Christianity in Gibraltar:
- Roman Catholicism: The majority faith, with the Diocese directly responsible to the Vatican. It is deeply integrated into local culture, with traditional practices like Christmas Midnight Mass.
- Anglicanism: The Holy Trinity Anglican Cathedral serves as the seat of the Bishop of Gibraltar in Europe.
- Other Denominations: Includes the Methodist Church, Bethel Christian Fellowship, Cityline Church, and Living Waters Church.
- Demographic Trends: While Catholicism remains dominant, a 2025 report indicates a significant rise in those with no religious affiliation, alongside a small but steady presence of other Christian groups (approx. 4% of the population).
- Outreach: Several evangelical groups are active, such as the Christian Church on the Rock.
Although historically Catholic, modern Gibraltar is a diverse, multicultural society where these Christian traditions coexist with Jewish, Muslim, and Hindu communities.
