There are different Protestant denominations that are active there, mostly Evangelical, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Baptist, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Adventist and the Costa Rican Evangelical Presbyterian Church. The country is also 47% Catholic.

The first Seventh-day Adventist missionaries arrived in 1903, and the Adventist church currently had 55,680 members in the country in 2001.
