Protestant churches of significant size include the Assemblées de Dieu, the Convention Baptiste d'Haïti, the Seventh-day Adventists, the Church of God (Cleveland), the Anglican/Episcopal Church, the Methodist Church in the Caribbean and Americas, the Church of the Nazarene and the Mission Evangelique Baptiste du Sud-Haiti.

In 2022, about 60% of Protestant churches in the country are part of the Federation Protestante d'Haiti; this group include Methodists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, the Salvation Army and others.[https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-report-on-international-religious-freedom/haiti/ US State Dept 2022 report]

Whereas a very small amount of Catholic Haitians combine their faith with aspects of Vodou, this practice is much more rare among Haitian Protestants, whose churches tend to strongly denounce Vodou as diabolical.{{Cite book|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=40SIdXeUEhUC|title = Crossing the Water and Keeping the Faith: Haitian Religion in Miami|last = Rey|first = Terry|last2 = Stepick|first2 = Alex|date = 2013-08-19|publisher = NYU Press|isbn = 9781479820771|language = en}}
