He is thy praise, and he is thy God,

Deuternomy 10:21

"As the traditional churches continue to witness a decline in the number of Jamaicans sitting in their pews, the Pentecostal, Seventh-day Adventist and various Church of God groupings are seeing a steady increase in worshippers.

The recently released Population and Housing Census 2011 revealed that a multitude of Christian believers are flocking to the 'non-traditional churches'.

By the time of the 2001 census, the Pentecostal movement picked up enormous steam and jumped from 14,739 in 1960 to 247,452. In the 2011 census, the denomination recorded 295,195 affiliates.
However, despite the ground gained by the Pentecostals, the Seventh-day Adventist Church retained its rank as the largest denomination in the country.
It moved from 281,353 affiliates in 2001 to 322,228 in 2011; an increase of 14.53 per cent.
Pastor Everett Brown, president of the Jamaica Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists (SDA) said he was encouraged by the numbers because it showed that the preaching and teaching of his church has not been in vain." The Gleaner-Jamaica
