Online resources for places of worship and ministries in the City of Jackson, Michigan are the focal point of topics in this portion of our guide.
For the most part, this will consist of Christian churches because the vast majority of Jackson residents who are religious identify with some form of the Christian religion, although Judaism and some Eastern religions are lightly represented, and there is at least one Jewish congregation, Temple Beth Israel, within the city limits.
A recent survey suggested that residents of Jackson are considerably less religious than the average Michigander or American. While 49.4% of Americans and 41.9% of Michigan residents cited an affiliation with a religion, only 30.2% of Jackson residents were religious.
Of these, Catholics were the most prominent, by far. They were followed distantly by the Baptists, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Mormons, and Episcopalians, although a significant number cited affiliations with Protestant Christian denominations that were not part of the survey, or with various non-denominational Protestant churches.
Besides places of worship, regardless of the particular religion, denomination, or sect, any topic related to faith, religion, and spirituality in Jackson would be appropriate for this guide.
