Tonight at church we talked about why there are so many denominations and where they came from. As part of this discussion, we came up with a list of churches in a surrounding area of 12 miles by 6 miles. In terms of time, these are churches easily within 15 minutes or less of each other. We counted 28 churches.
7 United Methodist Churches
5 Independent Bible Churches
3 Lutheran Churches
3 Roman Catholic Churches
2 Pentecostal Churches
2 Baptist Churches
1 Presbyterian Church
1 Episcopalian Church
1 Wesleyan Church
1 Amish Church
1 Free Methodist Camp
1 Independent Camp
