Gulf Coast Living - Churches and Synagogues

Heralded as the "Bible Belt", Pensacola has a large number of churches of almost every denomination. Historical churches sprinkle the area and provide a special cultural flavor. Their tall bell towers, beautiful marble pillars and stain glass windows are a treasured part of Northwest Florida's rich history. Roman Catholic churches trace their presence to Spanish priests who were in Pensacola in the 1600s. In the 1800s, Protestant churches were established.

There are two Jewish synagogues in Pensacola and an Islamic center. There has also been a growth of churches with an emphasis on evangelism and personal spiritual growth.
