in mongolia is a minority religion most christians in mongolia became christian after the mongolian revolution of 1990 according to the christian missionary group mission eurasia the number of christians grew from less than 40 in 1990 to around 40 000 meeting in 600 different churches in 2025 1 statistics edit according to the 2010 national census there were 41 117 christians age of 15 and older or 2 1 of total population 2 in 2020 christians made up 1 94 of the population 3 nestorianism edit main article christianity among the mongols in the 7th century nestorianism was the first form of christianity to be proselytized among the mongols 4 although it was a minority religion and remained so 5 however it had great philosophical influence on other mongolian spiritual traditions such as buddhism and shamanism 6 7 during the rise of the mongol empire in the 13th century the great khans though mostly shamanists and buddhist were religiously tolerant towards the nestorian christians muslims and manichaeans 8 many of the khans had nestorian christian wives from the kerait clan who were extremely influential in the mongol court during the rule of möngke khan christianity was the primary religious influence after the breakup of the mongol empire in the 14th century nestorian christianity nearly disappeared from the region 9 there are only very few archeological traces of the prospering of nestorianism among the mongols 10 in inner mongolia several nestorian gravestones have been recorded in the past but none now remain in situ 11 syncretic christianity edit some mongolians rejected the church structure and what was orthodox for the time and borrowed elements from other religions and merged beliefs from several christian denominations together 12 some even identified adam with the buddha 12 syncretism along these lines influenced the way chinese mongolian and tibetan buddhism developed and the effects of it can still be observed in the modern forms of these traditions citation needed eastern orthodoxy edit the orthodox churches and their monks became victims to the mongol invasion of eastern europe in the early 13th century however jarlig or charter of immunity also contributed to the strengthening of the church with the reign of möngke temür a jarlig was issued to metropolitan kirill for the orthodox church in 1267 while the church had been under the de facto protection of the mongols ten years earlier from the 1257 census conducted under khan berke this jarlig formally decreed protection for the orthodox church more importantly it officially exempted the church from any form of taxation by mongol or russian authorities and permitted clergymen to remain unregistered during censuses and clergy were furthermore not liable for forced labor or military service for the first time the orthodox church would become less dependent on princely powers than in any other period of russian history 13 from 1771 to 1845 at least eight missions of the russian orthodox church visited mongolia the first orthodox church on mongolian territory holy trinity church was established in the khalkha capital city urga in 1872 14 and newly rebuilt there in 2007 15 catholicism edit main article catholic church in mongolia saints peter and paul cathedral historically much of europe had been ruled by turkish and mongolian tribes both of which originated in mongolia the eastern roman empire was conquered by the ottoman turks in the 15th century western catholicism was first introduced in the middle ages primarily through franciscan and dominican missionaries sent to the mongol court in karakorum and also via medieval catholic missions in china missionaries to china were successful during the mongol created yuan dynasty in china in the late 13th early 14th centuries however after the native chinese ming dynasty overthrew the yuan dynasty in 1368 christians were expelled from china many mongols in the western part of the empire converted to islam and with the collapse of the entire mongol empire in the 14th century christianity nearly disappeared from central asia only reappearing after the second opium war in the mid 19th century in time a mission was founded for outer mongolia giving mongolia its first catholic jurisdiction but all work ceased within a year when the mongolian people s republic was established and freedom of thought and religion were no longer permitted 16 after the mongolian revolution of 1990 catholic missionaries returned and rebuilt the church from scratch as of 2006 there is an apostolic prefecture a bishop three churches and diplomatic relations between the holy see and mongolia since 1992 pope john paul ii originally planned to visit mongolia along with kazan but he eventually cancelled the trip supposedly explaining to a russian newspaper that our lord does not want it 17 as of 2022 there were 1 394 catholics in the apostolic prefecture of ulaanbaatar headed by giorgio marengo i m c as prefect and organized into 8 parishes 18 on september 1st 2023 pope francis visited mongolia meeting with president of mongolia ukhnaagiin khürelsükh who was gifted an authenticated letter from former khan güyük 1246 1248 demanding the submission of pope innocent iv to the mongol empire 19 protestantism edit main article protestantism in mongolia protestant church in zuunmod töv

christian radio station family radio the church of jesus christ of latter day saints edit an lds church meetinghouse in ulaanbaatar mongolia main article the church of jesus christ of latter day saints in mongolia in 1992 six missionaries of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints arrived in mongolia as english teachers in 1995 the mongolia ulaanbaatar mission was established with richard cook as the first mission president the ulaanbaatar mongolia west stake with six congregations was formed in 2009 growing to nine congregations by may 2016 the ulaanbaatar mongolia east stake
