Grand Haven, Michigan churches, other places of worship, and ministries are the focus of topics in this guide, regardless of the particular religion, denomination, or sect.
For the most part, if not entirely, these will consist of websites representing Christian churches and ministries in Grand Haven because no other religions are widely represented in the city, at this point in time. However, any topic related to faith, religion, and spirituality in Grand Haven would be appropriate for this guide.
A recent survey suggested that residents of Grand Haven are considerably more religious than those in the average Michigan locality and, for that matter, the average American community. While 41.9% of respondents in Michigan and 49.4% of Americans cited an affiliation with a religion, 53.3% of those in Grand Haven indicated that they were religious.
Only 0.1% cited an affiliation with a religion other than Christianity. Presbyterians represented the most common denomination by far, at 28.2%. They were followed distantly by the Catholics (9.5%), and more distantly by the Lutherans, Methodists, Pentecostals, Mormons, Episcopalians, and Baptists, although 9.6% of respondents cited an affiliation with a Protestant denomination that was not part of this survey, or with various non-denominational Protestant churches.
