The chief topics of this portion of our guide are belief, faith, religion, and spirituality in the City of Rochester, Michigan.
For the most part, these will consist of websites representing ministries and places of worship in Rochester, regardless of the particular religion, denomination, or sect.
A recent survey suggests that residents of Rochester are more religious than those in the average locality in Michigan or America. Nearly half of Rochester respondents who claimed an affiliation with a particular religion were Roman Catholics. The Catholics were followed by the Protestants, who were divided into Methodists, Lutherans, Baptists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, and Mormons, although more than nine percent were members of Protestant or Anabaptist denominations that weren't part of this survey, or with various non-denominational Christian churches.
Three percent of respondents identified with Judaism, while just under one percent cited Islam and various Eastern faiths.
