For churches
Claim your church
Find your congregation below. Claiming is free, takes about two minutes, and what you tell us outranks every other source we hold.
What changes when you claim it
Five things, and none of them cost anything.
Your word beats every other source
Whatever you set here outranks the denominational directory, the old scrape, and anything else we hold. No automated job overwrites it, ever.
Service times straight from you
The one thing a visitor checks before they come, in your hands rather than ours. Change them for Christmas Eve, change them back in January.
A verified badge, and today's date
Your page shows that a person from the congregation confirmed it, and when. No other directory shows a visitor when anyone last checked.
Found for who you are
Free Will Baptist and Southern Baptist are different homes, and a Global Methodist congregation deserves to be found as one. Set your affiliation and the people looking for your tradition find you.
It costs nothing, and it stays that way
Claiming is free permanently. There is a paid tier for photos and a longer description, and you will never need it to keep your details right.
After you claim
What's free, and what isn't.
Claiming costs nothing and always will. This is the whole of what money buys, so you can see it before you start rather than after.

Every congregation is listed free whether or not anyone ever pays us, and the link to your own website is never behind a price. Claim your listing to get started — that part costs nothing and always will.
How verification works
We email a six-digit code to an address published on your congregation’s own website. An address on your church’s own domain verifies immediately. A free address published on your site works too: small congregations overwhelmingly use one, so it goes to a person for review rather than clearing automatically, usually the same day.
Nobody can claim a church they don’t belong to. The code has to arrive in a mailbox the congregation controls, and a mismatch never clears on its own.
Not listed yet?
We hold 9,675 North Carolina congregations and we are certain that is incomplete. Add your church and we’ll verify it against your own site, usually within a few days. Then you can claim it.
