Tampa, Florida, is home to a diverse array of religious communities, reflecting its rich cultural tapestry. Approximately 41.8% of Tampa’s residents are affiliated with a religious congregation, which is below the national average of 50.2%.

Christianity is the predominant faith in Tampa, encompassing various denominations:

  • Evangelical Protestants: Representing about 38.2% of religious adherents, this group includes numerous Baptist and Pentecostal congregations.

  • Mainline Protestants: Accounting for approximately 14.8% of adherents, this category comprises Methodist, Lutheran, and Presbyterian churches.

  • Catholicism: The Catholic Church constitutes a significant portion of the religious community, with notable institutions like Sacred Heart Catholic Church, a historic landmark in downtown Tampa.

  • Eastern Orthodoxy: The city is home to various Eastern Orthodox congregations, including Greek, Coptic, and Syrian Orthodox communities.

Beyond Christianity, Tampa embraces a spectrum of other religious traditions:
