Siloam Springs hosts a variety of churches to cater to JBU's diverse student body.
Campus folklore claims that Siloam once held the Guinness Book of World Records for the most churches per capita. We haven't been able to verify that, but we do know that there are over 50 churches in our town of approximately 15,000 people, including several Hispanic churches and a Hmong church.
Many of the churches in Siloam Springs provide transportation from campus for students without a car.
Drive a little farther, and more churches can be found in Northwest Arkansas.
