In Samoa, the Congregational Christian Church of Samoa (Ekalesia Faapotopotoga Kerisiano Samoa) is the denomination with the largest following, representing slightly less than one-third of the population.1
Following European contact, Samoans widely adopted Christianity, and the church remains a central part of the nation's social fabric, with even remote villages maintaining grand church structures. Other significant religious groups in the country include Roman Catholics, who make up approximately one-fifth of the population, and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who constitute about one-sixth.12
