Faith

The growth of faith communities on Bainbridge Island reflects a changing population and robust interfaith cooperation.

Homesteaders built the first churches in the late 1900s. As the population of the Island increased, more congregations were established to meet the needs of the community.

By the late 20th century, the faith landscape became more diverse with the establishment of a Buddhist temple, two Jewish congregations, and traditions like Baha’i, Soka Gakkai International, Universal Dances of Peace and Unity.

Today, faith groups continue to be a vibrant and active part of the greater community.
