The Roman Catholic, Southern Baptist and United Methodist churches remain the largest three denominations in the country, with the Mormon church ranking fourth in size, according to the latest edition of the Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches. 
The latest edition of the yearbook counts more than 69 million Roman Catholics in the U.S., with
Southern Baptists running a distant second at 16.3 million.The United Methodist Church came in third, with just over 8 million members, but that figure represents a decrease.
Other mainline denominations also continued to lose members.
The Assemblies of God and other Pentecostal denominations, however, reported significant growth.
