As Martin Luther began the Reformation by protesting against the Catholic Church, the church that was formed that took his name must, by definition, be the oldest protestant church. The Lutheran Church is now prevalent across the world, but especially in Germany and Scandinavia.

Actually, the Moravians, or Unitas Fratum, predates Luther by 60 years and is considered the oldest protestant church.
