Churches
Bahamians in
general are a
church going
people and
Eleuthera in
particular has
many churches
scattered
throughout the
various
townships.
In fact the
name Eleuthera
means freedom and was so named when a band of pilgrims came here
searching for religious freedom around 1647 and found this
island to be the ideal place to worship God as they saw fit.
They settled here and that group, 'The Eleutheran Adventurers'
is credited as being the first settlers of the island as we know
it today. Services are held every Sunday morning and Sunday
evening in some churches. Mid-week services are also a common
practice.
