About Church Directory UK

Church Directory UK is a free directory of Christian churches across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Our aim is modest and useful: when someone wants to find a church, whether around the corner or in a town they are moving to, the answer should be a minute away.

Who we are

We are a small independent team, not affiliated with any denomination or church body. That independence matters to us: a parish church in Cumbria, a Pentecostal fellowship in Croydon and a kirk in Fife all get the same free listing, presented the same way.

Where the data comes from

Listings are drawn from OpenStreetMap, the open map of the world maintained by volunteers, and from submissions made by churches and their congregations. We tidy, de-duplicate and organise the results by county, town and denomination. Around 39,000 churches are listed at present, and the number grows as submissions come in.

How you can help

• Submit a church that is not yet listed.
• Tell us about mistakes through the contact form.
• Share the directory with your congregation and neighbours.

Free, and staying that way

We will never charge a church or a visitor for a listing. If we introduce optional extras for churches one day, the core directory will remain free to everyone.
