How we rank: churches earn points for what a first-time visitor needs and what we could check ourselves in October 2026: a Sunday service time published on the church's own website (30), Sunday school or Bible study times (10), an online giving page (20), a working website (15), a phone number (10) and tradition confirmed on its own site or a documented history (15). It is not a judgment of worship or community; churches can improve their place by sending us their schedule.
