The Christian Party (Lithuanian: Krikščionių partija, KP) was a centre-right political party in Lithuania. The Christian Party was founded on 23 January 2010 as a merger of the Christian Conservative Social Union (Krikščionių konservatorių socialinė sąjunga) and the Lithuanian Party of Christian Democracy (Lietuvos krikščioniškosios demokratijos partija).[1]
The party has eight members in the Seimas.
