Religion

Fayetteville sits within the American Bible Belt and has a rich, predominantly Christian religious heritage. The city is home to numerous large congregations, notably **Fayetteville First Baptist Church** and **Fayetteville First United Methodist Church**, both of which have deep historic roots in the community. The religious landscape has diversified alongside the population growth, and today includes a wide variety of non-denominational ministries, Presbyterian, Catholic, and Episcopal churches, as well as nearby centers of worship for Islamic and Jewish communities in the broader southern Atlanta metro area.
