With gambling, drinking and partying accessible at nearly any hour of the day, Sin City may seem an unlikely place for faith to flourish. But each week, hundreds of thousands of valley residents turn out to worship at churches, synagogues and mosques, practicing faiths ranging from Catholicism to Sikhism. As the valley’s population boomed over the past several decades, so did its faith communities. More than half a dozen Christian “mega-churches” — loosely defined as churches with more than 2,000 members attending services per week — have sprouted across the valley, often growing from small gatherings in strip malls or hotel ballrooms into large congregations based on multi-acre church campuses. These churches join a religious ecosystem that includes strong representation from the Catholic and Mormon faiths as well as numerous, smaller denominations. Here’s a look at some of the biggest churches from various faith communities around the valley:
