Although it carries its ethnic related name, HKBP, the Batak's Protestant Church is actually a congregation of Christians from many different segments of the Indonesian society, regardless of their ethnics and locations. It is a congregation of those who have been baptized in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy spirit.

Church -as always - is a manifestation of the body of Christ into which believers from all over the world are united.

HKBP was founded in 1861, and was officially recognized by the Dutch Government decree no. 48, dated on June 11, 1931. This letter of recognition was published and included in the Staatsblad No. 360 in 1932.

Recognition from the Government of The Republic of Indonesia was given in the Indonesian Government letter No. Dd/P/DAK/d/135/68, dated April 2, 1968. A further recognition of the Indonesian Government was given through the letter No. 33 from the Ministry of Religion office, dated 6 February 1988.
