Note: Several of the organizations and religious groups listed on this page either do not envision themselves as denominations or are loose associations of congregations; therefore, the web site listed might not be an official denominational site nor represent an "official" perspective of a national religious entity.
Religious Bodies Organized according to J. Gordon Melton's Religious Family Groupings
J. Gordon Melton's authoritative work The Encyclopedia of American Religions organizes all religious bodies in North America into twenty (20) families. Families share three common features: heritage, theology or belief (in a broad sense), and lifestyle. Visit this link to view religious bodies organized by family.
