Maohi Protestant Church (French Polynesia)

The Maohi Protestant Church is a Reformed church in French Polynesia and a member of the World Communion of Reformed Churches.

The first missionaries arrived in 1797. After 1815 the majority of the population identified themselves with Christianity, and formed this national Protestant church which spread from Tahiti to the four archipelagos. The official founding date of the church is 1815.

In 1962 the church became autonomous under the name of Eglise évangélique de Polynésie francaise. The Maóhi Protestant Church is the leading, predominant church in French Polynesia. It has parishes and thousands of members in New Caledonia. The church has 130,000 members and 96 congregations, and 81 house fellowships.
