Protestant Christianity arrived in the Philippines during the late 19th century and the early 20th century. These denominations were introduced mostly by American missionaries at that time, although some were founded locally. The country has the world's 13th-largest Protestant population with almost 9 million adherents, about 10 percent of the national population. Some are members of National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP), Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC), Philippines for Jesus Movement (PJM), Christian Conference of Asia, World Methodist Council and the World Council of Churches. Pentecostals, Evangelicals and non-denominational churches are among the common Protestant denominations in the Philippines.
