There is a strong, if not overpowering, presence of churches in the Flatbush community – approximately three churches per block in the busy areas and one per block in the others. The churches are great representations of the diversity of the neighborhood. Generally, Caribbean churches provide immigrants with ways to maintain their West Indian Identity, cultural ties, and to access employment and educational resources. For this reason, many churches have a congregation that is predominantly from one nation. Some of these churches are:
