Protestant Church

The Protestant Church is a major branch of Christianity that originated in the 16th century during the Reformation, a movement against certain practices of the Catholic Church. Key figures like Martin Luther and John Calvin emphasized principles such as the authority of the Bible, faith in Jesus Christ as the path to salvation, and the priesthood of all believers. Protestants generally reject certain Catholic traditions and believe in a personal relationship with God. There are various denominations within Protestantism, including Lutherans, Baptists, Methodists, and Anglicans, each with its own beliefs and practices.
