Batak Christianity

Batak Christianity is a religious tradition among the Batak people of Indonesia, primarily converted from their indigenous beliefs to Christianity—mainly Protestantism and Catholicism—since the 19th century. It blends Christian teachings with local customs, rituals, and cultural practices, creating a unique religious identity. The community emphasizes faith, family, and traditional ceremonies, often integrating Christian values into their social and cultural life. Batak Christianity plays a vital role in preserving cultural heritage while adapting to Christian doctrines, fostering a sense of community and spiritual connection within the Batak society.
