Long before the City of Hoover was founded, its community of faith was already established. The area's earliest places of worship were primitive wooden church buildings that were shared by everyone, regardless of religious affiliations or beliefs; itinerant preachers led the services.
The first church in the valley was Rocky Ridge Cumberland Presbyterian Church, organized in 1854. By 1900, the Methodists and Baptists had established a number of churches in the area. Other denominations, including Church of Christ, Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopal, Church of God and Seventh Day Adventist have since come to Hoover.
Today, Hoover's churches range from megachurches (those with attendance of 2,000 and above) to very small congregations. But each has a place in meeting the spiritual needs of people not only in Hoover, but in the surrounding areas as well. As churches seek to become more visible and involved in the community, many have found membership in the Hoover Area Chamber of Commerce to be beneficial in expanding the scope of their ministries. Chamber membership is offered to churches at a very low rate, but is required in order to be listed here.
