One of the interesting facts about Dwight D. Eisenhower is that his family had a strong religious background however, Eisenhower belonged to no organized churches until 1952. Eisenhower was born on October 14, 1890, in Denison, Texas, as the third of seven sons to Ida Stover and David J. Eisenhower. His parents established daily family Bible reading periods at breakfast and dinner. Chores were allocated and rotated among all the children on a regular basis, and misconduct was dealt with unambiguous discipline, generally from David. His mother, a former River Brethren Mennonite (together with David), joined the International Bible Students Association, afterward known as Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses are a millenarian restorationist Christian sect with nontrinitarian views that differ from mainstream Christianity. The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, a group of elders based in Warwick, New York, United States, defines all teachings based on their interpretations of the Bible.

From 1896 to 1915, the Eisenhower residence served as the local meeting venue, despite the fact that Eisenhower never joined the International Bible Students. His decision to attend West Point subsequently devastated his mother, who thought warfare was quite nasty, but she did not veto his decision. In 1948, Eisenhower described himself as "one of the most intensely religious individuals I know," though he was not affiliated with any sect or organization. In 1953, he was baptized in the Presbyterian Church.
