The entire human circle of birth, growth, marriage, sickness and death are marked by religious observances. Although majority of the natives of Finima currently are Christians, traditional religious activities still take place in the community. Finima is renowned to be the custodian of ancient Ibani Deity (SIMINGI) with persons like Awanta (former High Priest of Simingi who was the younger half brother of Omuso, the Chief of Brown Major House. It was Omuso who as the ruler that appointed his half brother Awanta to oversee the Deity). Yearly, Nwaotam carnival (an elements of cultural and traditional display) is prominent in the lives of the Finima people. The traditional Finima concept, like other Africans, believes in a supreme power and the delegation of power by the Supreme Being to specialized deities. They believe in ancestral spirits, sacrifice in times of crises and in peace to the gods to ensure divine protection and generosity. However, since late 19^th century Finima has gradually become predominantly Christian with the arrival of Missionaries like Bishop Ajayi Crowther in 1899, Bishop Dimieari, etc. St Patrick's Anglican Church and Christ Army Church are the foremost of over 25 denominations in present day Finima.
