Saudi Arabia Church Records

For information about records for non-Christian religions in Saudi Arabia, go to the Religious Records page. Virtually all Saudi citizens are Muslim (officially, all are), and almost all Saudi residents are Muslim. According to estimates there are about 1,500,000 Christians in Saudi Arabia, almost all foreign workers. Saudi Arabia allows Christians to enter the country as foreign workers for temporary work, but does not allow them to practice their faith openly. The percentage of Saudi Arabian citizens who are Christians is officially zero, as Saudi Arabia forbids religious conversion from Islam and punishes it by death.
