Omaha has long been shaped by its Christian heritage, with Protestant and Roman Catholic congregations playing prominent roles in the city’s spiritual, cultural, and social life.  The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha is a significant presence, encompassing many parishes across the city and beyond. Protestant traditions are likewise diverse, including mainline denominations, evangelical and nondenominational congregations, and various ethnic and racial church communities. Meanwhile, non‑Christian faiths also have a presence; for example, the Hindu Temple of Omaha serves the Hindu community in the Omaha area.
