Matters relating to beliefs, faith, religion, and spirituality in Highland, East Highland, West Highland, Clyde, and Seven Harbors, Michigan are the focal point of resources covered in this guide.
In large part, if not entirely, these will consist of websites representing Christian churches in the region, as non-Christian religions are not greatly represented in the Highlands region.
A recent national survey suggested that residents in this region are somewhat less religious than the average community in Michigan or the United States. While 49.4% of Americans cited an affiliation with a particular religion, that number for Michigan was 41.9%, and it was 35.3% in Highland. Nevertheless, there are several Christian services in the area of Highland, East Highland, West Highland, Clyde, and Seven Harbors.
Of these, the greatest number were Methodists, followed closely by Catholics and Lutherans, and distantly by Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Mormons, and Baptists, although a greater number cited affiliation with various Protestant denominations that were not included in the survey, or with non-denominational Protestant churches. Other religions garnered less than 0.1% or none, and were not registered in the survey.
Topics related to faith, religion, and spirituality in the Highland region, including those associated with ministries or places of worship in any of the five Highland communities, regardless of the particular religion, denomination, or sect, are appropriate for this category.
