Jaro Evangelical Church, Protestant church in Jaro, Philippines.
The religious building features early 20th-century architectural elements with traditional furnishings and provides space for gatherings in Iloilo City.
Founded in 1901 by Dr. Eric Lund and Braulio Manikan of the American Baptist Missionary Union, marking the first Baptist church established in the Philippines.
The church maintains strong connections with Central Philippine University and continues educational initiatives through the Baptist Training School and Jaro Industrial School.
Located next to Plaza Jaro, the church holds regular services under the guidance of multiple pastors including Rev. Sharon Joy Ruiz-Duremdes and Rev. Martha Mae Luces.
During World War II, the Japanese Imperial Army converted the church building into military barracks before services resumed under Rev. Vaflor.
