The Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC) is an organization of more than seventy Evangelical and Mainline Protestant churches, and more than 210 para-church organizations in the Philippines. It is a member of the World Evangelical Alliance.[1] In 2010, the Philippine census by the National Statistics Office found that 2.68 percent of the population are Evangelicals affiliated with the PCEC, making it the third largest faith group in the Philippines after the Catholic Church (80.6%) and Islam (5.6%), respectively.[2] However, it was estimated that PCEC represents close to eleven million adherents as of 2011.[3]

History and structure

The PCEC was established as a small umbrella organization in 1965. To date, it is the largest organization of Christian denominations in the Philippines.[4]
