This is a list of Christian denominations by number of members. It is inevitably partial and generally based on claims by the denominations themselves. The numbers should therefore be considered approximate and the article is an ongoing work-in-progress.
The list includes the Catholic Church (including Eastern Catholic Churches), Protestant denominations with at least 0.2 million members, the Eastern Orthodox Church (and its offshoots), Oriental Orthodox Churches (and their offshoots), Nontrinitarian Restorationism, independent Catholic denominations, Nestorianism and all the other Christian branches and denominations with distinct theologies or polities.
Christianity is the largest religious group in the world, with an estimated 2.3 to 2.6 billion adherents in 2020.{{Cite web |date=2020 |editor-last=Johnson |editor-first=Todd M. |editor2-last=Grim |editor2-first=Brian J. |title=All Religions (global totals) |url=https://worldreligiondatabase.org/ |website=World Religion Database |publisher=BRILL, Boston University |location=Leiden, Boston}}{{cite web |date=2015 |title=Status of Global Mission, 2015, in the Context of AD 1900–2050 |url=http://www.gordonconwell.edu/resources/documents/2IBMR2015.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150907004953/http://www.gordonconwell.edu/resources/documents/2IBMR2015.pdf |archive-date=7 September 2015 |access-date=10 October 2015 |work=International Bulletin of Missionary Research, Vol. 39, No. 1 |publisher=Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary |language=en}}{{Cite web |first1=Conrad|last1=Hackett|first2=David|last2=McClendon|title=World's largest religion by population is still Christianity |url=https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/04/05/christians-remain-worlds-largest-religious-group-but-they-are-declining-in-europe/ |access-date=2020-04-11 |website=Pew Research Center |date=5 April 2017 |language=en-US}}{{cite web |last1=Sherwood |first1=Harriet |date=27 August 2018 |title=Religion: why faith is becoming more and more popular |url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/aug/27/religion-why-is-faith-growing-and-what-happens-next |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200229073850/https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/aug/27/religion-why-is-faith-growing-and-what-happens-next |archive-date=29 February 2020 |access-date=27 February 2020 |work=The Guardian |language=en |quote=According to 2015 figures, Christians form the biggest religious group by some margin, with 2.3 billion adherents or 31.2% of the total world population of 7.3 billion.}}
Christian denominational families
The various denominations of Christianity fall into several large families, shaped both by culture and history.
Christianity arose in the first century AD after Rome had conquered much of the western parts of the fragmented Hellenistic empire created by Alexander the Great. The linguistic and cultural divisions of the first century AD Roman Empire with, broadly speaking, a Latin West and a Greek East, but also with significant areas in North Africa where Coptic was the dominant language, and areas in the Near East where Syriac or Aramaic was the dominant language, were reflected in the early Christian church. The church was called "Catholic" meaning "universal" from very early in the second century, a tacit acknowledgement of the many different cultures it encompassed.
Early Christianity suffered great, although intermittent, persecution from the state until Emperor Constantine the Great issued the Edict of Milan in 313 AD, legalizing Christianity. Shortly after the cessation of persecution, the Church had the luxury of reflecting on the meaning of its own teachings for the first time. Significant disputes arose, particularly over the nature of Christ and the relationship between Christ, the Father, and the Spirit. The Church chose to address those disputes with Ecumenical councils, the first four of which were at Nicaea, Constantinople, Ephesus and Chalcedon. The first two of these councils, the First Council of Nicaea and the First Council of Constantinople gave birth to the Nicene Creed which has become the touchstone for Christian beliefs.
Both of the next two Councils, the Council of Ephesus, and the Council of Chalcedon led to significant ruptures in the Church. Many Christians espousing the minority position at these two councils, even after extensive discussion and attempts at reconciliation, chose to strike out on their own, rather than to accept the positions held by the majority of the church fathers at the councils. Refusing to accept the Council of Ephesus, the Church of the East, encompassing many Syriac speaking Christians in what was then the far East of the Empire, split off in 431 AD. A few decades later, in 451 AD, after the Council of Chalcedon, the group that later became known as the Oriental Orthodox Churches, encompassing many Coptic speaking Christians in North Africa, also split off.
In 1054 AD, an accumulation of misunderstanding, disrespect and genuine theological differences led to the Great Schism, dividing Greek speaking Christians who became the Eastern Orthodox, from Latin speaking Christians who kept the name Catholic, but increasingly prefaced it with the adjective "Roman".
Beginning in 1517, the remaining western, Latin speaking church was itself rent asunder by the Reformation with many Christians rejecting papal authority and gathering together in new ways. Broadly speaking Protestantism has four streams: Lutheranism, Calvinism, Anabaptism, and Anglicanism. While all of these Christian groups from the Church of the East on, have their own subsequent splits, the fragmentation in Protestantism has been extreme, with tens of thousands of denominations. Some of these fragmented groups, particularly among the Eastern churches, have sought to return to Rome, and have reunited themselves under papal authority.

Catholicism is the largest branch of Christianity and the Catholic Church is the largest among churches. About 50% of all Christians are Catholics. According to the annual directory of the Catholic Church or Annuario Pontificio of 2024, there were 1.390 billion baptized Catholics in 2022.{{cite web |last1=Ercole |first1=Maria Lucia |title=2024 Pontifical Yearbook and 2022 Statistical Yearbook: Catholic Church statistics |url=https://mission.spaziospadoni.org/2024-pontifical-yearbook-and-2022-statistical-yearbook-catholic-church-statistics/ |website=Mission Spazio Spadoni |date=19 April 2024}}{{cite web |title=New Church statistics reveal more Catholics, fewer vocations - Vatican News |url=https://www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-city/news/2024-04/vatican-central-statistical-office-church-pontifical-yearbook.html |website=www.vaticannews.va |language=en |date=4 April 2024}}{{cite web | url=https://www.osservatoreromano.va/it/news/2024-04/quo-077/pubblicati-l-annuario-pontificio-2024-e-l-annuarium-statisticum.html | title=Pubblicati l'Annuario Pontificio 2024 e l'Annuarium Statisticum Ecclesiae 2022 - l'Osservatore Romano }}; that was 1.406 billion in 2023. In 2024, the World Christian Database reported 1.278 billion Catholics. That figure does not include independent denominations that self-identify as Catholic, numbering some 18 million adherents subscribing to Old Catholicism and other forms of Independent Catholicism.

For instance, most sources include Anabaptism, Anglicanism, Baptists and non-denominational Christianity as part of Protestantism. However, widely used references like the World Christian Encyclopedia, which has been documenting the changing status of World Christianity over the past 120 years classifies Independent Christians as a separate category from Protestantism.{{Cite web |title=World Christian Encyclopedia |url=https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-world-christian-encyclopedia.html |access-date=2024-10-28 |website=Edinburgh University Press Books |language=en}}{{cite book |last1=Shurden |first1=Walter B. |title=Not a Silent People: Controversies that Have Shaped Southern Baptists |date=1995 |publisher=Smyth & Helwys Publishing, Inc. |isbn=978-1-57312-021-0 |page=48 |language=en}} Moreover, Protestant denominations altogether do not form a single structure comparable to the Catholic Church, or to a lesser extent the Eastern Orthodox communion. However, several different comparable communions exist within Protestantism, such as the World Evangelical Alliance, the Anglican Communion, the World Communion of Reformed Churches, the Baptist World Alliance, the World Methodist Council and the Lutheran World Federation. Regardless, 900 million is the most accepted figure among various authors and scholars, and thus is used in this article. Note that this 900 million figure also includes Anglicans, Anabaptists, Baptists, as well as multiple other groups that might sometimes disavow a common "Protestant" designation, and would rather prefer to be called, simply, "Christian".{{r|Gordon-Conwell 500}} According to Mark Juergensmeyer of the University of California, "popular Protestantism" (that is to say all forms of Protestantism with the notable exception of the historical denominations deriving from the Protestant Reformation) is the most dynamic religious movement in the contemporary world, alongside resurgent Islam.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ic5pyiIkTxAC&pg=PA16|title=Religion in Global Civil Society|first=Mark|last=Juergensmeyer|date=3 November 2005|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=9780198040699|page=16|via=Google Books}}

==Modern Protestantism – 400–500 million==
The denominations listed below did not emerge from the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century or its commonly acknowledged offshoots. Instead, they are broadly linked to Pentecostalism or similar other independent evangelical and revivalistic movements that originated in the beginning of the 20th century.{{cite book |last1=Juergensmeyer |first1=Mark |title=Religion in Global Civil Society |date=2005 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-804069-9 |page=16 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ic5pyiIkTxAC&pg=PA16 |language=en}} For this reason, several sources tend to differentiate them from Protestants and classify them together as Independents, Non-core Protestants etc. Also included in this category are the numerous, yet very similar non-denominational churches. Nonetheless, most sources combine their numbers to the Protestant tally, while others do not since these churches do not self-identify with mainline Protestant traditions.{{Cite web |last=gzurlo |date=2020-05-13 |title=Independent Christianity |url=https://www.gordonconwell.edu/blog/independent-christianity/ |access-date=2024-10-31 |website=Gordon Conwell |language=en}} Despite the absence of centralized control or leadership, if considered as a single cohort, this will easily be the second largest Christian tradition after Roman Catholicism.{{cite book |last4=Barrett |first4=David B. |title=The Encyclopedia of Christianity |date=2005 |publisher=Wm.

==[[Eastern Protestant Christianity]] – 22 million==
File:Eastern-Protestantism.png
Eastern Protestant Christianity (or Eastern Reformed Christianity) encompasses a range of heterogeneous Protestant Christian denominations that developed outside of the Occident, from the latter half of the nineteenth century and yet keeps elements of Eastern Christianity, to varying degrees. Most of these denominations came into being when existing Protestant Churches adopted reformational variants of Eastern Orthodox liturgy and worship; while others are the result of reformations of Eastern Orthodox beliefs and practices, inspired by the teachings of Western Protestant missionaries.{{cite web|last1=Rodriguez|first1=Manuel Fernandez|title=Eastern Protestant and Reformed Churches "a historical and ecumenical look"|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/311358039}}{{cite book|last1=Werff|first1=Lyle L.

=Assyrian churches – 0.6 million=
A seventh group is composed of independent Assyrian churches, with roots in Nestorianism. Divisions occurred within the Church of the East, especially the schism of 1552, but by 1830 two unified patriarchates and distinct churches remained: the Assyrian Church of the East and the Chaldean Catholic Church (now an Eastern Catholic Church in communion with the Holy See).
