These are the churches that have been recently photographed and are included on the photographic inventory. [The list is partial and incomplete.] In Jersey City, more so than in other cities, church buildings were bought, sold and had their names changed. I am not confident I have disentangled the records suffiently to provide accurate information in every case. The assistance of readers is earnestly solicited.

Some explanation is needed. Churches in boldface are either listed on the National Register or are otherwise of special interest. If the name of the church is in brackets [ ] I am in doubt as to the founding congregation. The Sect is the original religious denomination when the church was built. Fields left blank are those for which I have no solid information.
