<P> The Methodist circuit riders and local Baptist preachers made enormous gains ; to a lesser extent the Presbyterians gained members , particularly with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in sparsely settled areas . As a result , the numerical strength of the Baptists and Methodists rose relative to that of the denominations dominant in the colonial period -- the Anglicans , Presbyterians , Congregationalists . Among the new denominations that grew from the religious ferment of the Second Great Awakening are the Churches of Christ , Christian Church ( Disciples of Christ ) , the Seventh - day Adventist Church , and the Evangelical Christian Church in Canada . The converts during the Second Great Awakening were predominantly female . A 1932 source estimated at least three female converts to every two male converts between 1798 and 1826 . Young people ( those under 25 ) also converted in greater numbers , and were the first to convert . </P>
