Are there any English-speaking churches in Belize?

Yes, churches in Belize are English-speaking. I am Mestizo, meaning I have Spanish blood and my first language is Spanish. My culture’s first language is Spanish but my country’s first language is English. My dad does not understand a lot of English and he can’t speak English. On Saturday nights the Catholic churches would have a Spanish mass and then on Sunday mornings they would have an English mass.
Anglicans have Spanish and English masses, too,...

Anglicans have Spanish and English masses, too, and I think the services of the Mormons and the Jehovah’s Witnesses are all in English.

All of the churches in Belize are English speaking. Belize is an English speaking country. They do have Spanish masses but they always offer English-speaking masses as well
There is an Anglican church, a Roman Catholic church, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I do not believe there is a synagogue in Ambergris Caye, but there's probably one on the mainland though, and there's a mosque on the mainland as well.

Since English is our main language, majority of the churches in Belize are English speaking. On top of this, we are a very diverse country and have several different ethnic groups that speak myriad languages. It isn't uncommon to find churches that offer services in Spanish at specific times as well. In fact, there are some churches that even offer headphones to translate the English service to Spanish or vice versa during the service itself.

If you're visiting Belize, your front desk should be able to tell you when there are services and in what language they're conducted, depending on the church you attend.

Belize is a "melting pot of cultures" and so is its variety in religion. Throughout the country you will find religious services in many local languages but mostly in English and Spanish. You will find services done in the following faiths: Catholic, Evangelic, 7th Day Adventist, Mormon, Jehovah's Witnesses and Pentecostal among others.

There are English-speaking churches in Belize. There are also Spanish-speaking churches where all the services are done in Spanish. Even if the service is held in Spanish, an English-speaking person in the crowd will not have difficulty understanding the sermon because there is also a translator. People who live in the villages commonly speak Spanish so when they go to church, they speak Spanish. There are a lot of villages in the northern part of...

There are a lot of villages in the northern part of Belize (from Corozal to Orange Walk), who speak Spanish.

Most of the churches here in Belize typically speak English. It was just recently that they started using Creole in the churches and use a Creole version of the Bible. They did that in order to get the people to be able to worship in their native language. All the other churches are either English-speaking or Spanish-speaking. Districts like Orange Walk, Corozal, and Cayo have more Spanish-speaking people so they have more Spanish-speaking churches.
