When they were first founded, denominations like the African Methodist Episcopal Church gave Black Americans a place to worship freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years, Black congregations have not only offered a place of prayer for many Black worshippers, but also played a role in the advancement of Black Americans more generally \u2013 from supporting colleges to taking the lead in many civil rights causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, when it comes to choosing a house of worship, most Black Americans don\u2019t prioritize denominational labels.

For example, roughly equal shares of Black Protestants (32%) and Catholics (31%) say the denomination would be a very important consideration if they were looking for a new congregation, as do 31% of members of non-Christian faiths. However, when it comes to Black members of \u201cother\u201d Christian faiths \u2013 mostly respondents who identify as Jehovah\u2019s Witness, but also including Orthodox Christians and other groups \u2013 51% say denomination would be a very important consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, vast majorities of each of these groups prioritize welcoming congregations and inspiring sermons. Seven-in-ten or more among Protestants, Catholics and members of \u201cother\u201d Christian and non-Christian faiths say that a welcoming congregation and inspiring sermons would be \u201cvery important\u201d when looking for a new congregation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to examining opinions across these broad religious traditions, the report also looks at responses within Protestant traditions. Among these groups specifically, 34% of Black adults in historically Black Protestant denominations say denomination would be a very important consideration if they were looking for a new congregation, as do 36% of evangelical Protestants and 30% of members of mainline Protestant denominations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among Black Protestants who identify only with a more general denominational family, but do not give enough information to be placed in specific religious traditions, it is also the case that about one-third (34%) say denomination would be a very important consideration. As an example, members of this group might include Black Americans who describe themselves as Baptist, but when offered a list of options, they do not specify if they identify with the Southern Baptist Convention (in the evangelical Protestant tradition), American Baptist Churches, USA (a mainline Protestant denomination), the Progressive National Baptist Convention (a historically Black Protestant denomination) or any other specific denomination. Instead, they describe themselves as \u201cjust Baptist\u201d or decline to provide further information about the specific Baptist denomination they identify with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, among Black Protestants who say they are nondenominational or give a vague answer to questions about denominational affiliation \u2013 such as saying they are \u201cjust a Protestant\u201d \u2013 a quarter each say the denomination of a congregation would be important if they were looking for a new church. That is lower than the shares of members of historically Black Protestant denominations, members of evangelical denominations, or Black Protestants who identify only with a general denominational family who say the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to choosing a house of worship, most Black Americans don\u2019t prioritize denominational labels.
