Hong Kong is home to a lively Christian community. Dating back more than 150 years, the community has an active practicing base of about 530,000 people. Visiting worshippers will have no problems finding regular services, as well as numerous community events and activities.

The 300,000 Protestants in Hong Kong are members of more than 1,300 congregations with more than 50 denominations represented, the largest of which are the Baptists followed by the Lutherans. Other major denominations in Hong Kong are Adventist, Anglican, Christian and Missionary Alliance, Methodist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian and Salvation Army.

The Roman Catholic community is similarly large and vibrant with about 230,000 people and the diocese has its own website where churches and services are listed in Chinese and English.

All sectors of the Christian church play a prominent role in the Hong Kong community, running schools, colleges, hospitals and social centres. Religious services are conducted throughout Hong Kong in Cantonese and English.

Churches
The impressive St John's Cathedral is believed to be the oldest Anglican church in the Far East. Situated on Garden Road, in the heart of Hong Kong's financial district, the cathedral was built in 1847. Originally designed in a Gothic style, the structure has undergone considerable additions and renovations. Today, the cathedral remains both a peaceful downtown haven and one of Hong Kong's main centres of Christian worship.

The Catholic Cathedral on Hong Kong Island's Caine Road is the physical and spiritual home of Hong Kong's Roman Catholic community. It sits dwarfed by a plethora of towering skyscrapers. Despite the surrounding buildings, the other-era magic of the place can be seen and felt today. Built in 1888, the building is an imposing Gothic-style structure and home to the Bishop of Hong Kong.
