The Christian church with the largest number of followers in Eritrea is the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church.

While approximately half of Eritrea's population is Christian, members of the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church account for about two-fifths of the total population. The remainder of the Christian population is primarily Roman Catholic, with a smaller number of Protestants. The Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church gained autocephaly in 1994 following Eritrea's independence from Ethiopia in 1993.12
