## What is Church Rating?

Looking for a church and not sure where to start? You're not alone. New to a town, new to faith, or just ready to find somewhere you belong — the first step is the hard one.

Church Rating shows you what a church is actually like before you walk in. Every church has a Guide Score: a single 0–10 rating built from real ratings left by the people who have been there, across the six things that shape a Sunday.

WHAT THE SCORE IS BUILT FROM

• Worship & music
• Preaching / teaching
• Community & welcome
• Kids & family
• Facilities & accessibility
• Beliefs & denomination transparency

Each one is scored 0–10 by people who have actually visited. Open any church to see the full breakdown — no account needed.

FIND ONE THAT FITS YOU

• Take the 2-minute quiz. Five quick questions: your background, how far you'll travel, what matters most, the size that feels right, and who's coming with you. You'll get a match and up to three ranked churches. No sign-in required.
• Search by name or town, filter, and sort by any of the six factors.
• Explore the map, with pins colored by score.
• Browse by denomination, or drill down by state and city.
• See the Weekly Spotlight — one church featured every week, with the story behind its score.

VISIT, RATE, KEEP TRACK

• Save the churches you want to come back to.
• Plan a visit, and set the one you settle on as your church home.
• Rate anywhere you've been: score each of the six factors, add a written review if you want to (it's optional), or post anonymously.
• Mark the reviews that helped you.
• Share a church with a friend in a tap.

FOR CHURCH LEADERS

Claim your church for free to keep your details right — service times, what to expect, photos, and links. See how many people are finding you, and invite your team.

Pro adds replies to reviews, saved response templates, full analytics, and featured placement in search. It never changes your rating.

RATINGS YOU CAN TRUST

Guide Scores come from the community and nowhere else. A church can claim its listing and reply to reviews, but it can never buy, edit, or remove its score. Reviews are shown honestly — never filtered or reordered to flatter a church, on the free plan or on Pro.

Finding, comparing, and rating churches is completely free.

Currently covering churches across the United States. More than 400,000 of them are already listed.

Sign in with Apple, Google, or an email address. Location is optional and only used to find churches near you — you can type a city or ZIP code instead.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1.0 — 2026-10-06

New
• A church page now explains what a free account lets you do — rate, save, plan visits, ask a question — with a one-tap way to create one, shown only while you are signed out

Fixed
• Sign in with Apple now opens Apple's sign-in page directly, the same way Google does, instead of a native prompt that failed to start on most devices

### 2.0.1 — 2026-09-15

Fixed
• Tapping into the search field above a long list of results no longer freezes the screen for a few seconds

### 2.0.0 — 2026-09-12

What’s changed
• Church Rating now wears iOS 26's Liquid Glass: the system tab bar (which tucks away as you scroll), a sidebar on iPad, translucent bars, glass map controls, and church cards that zoom open into the church page. Requires iOS 26

New
• On a folding phone, opening the device moves the five tabs into a slim rail down the side of the screen — within reach of your thumb, and leaving the page far more room than a full sidebar would

Fixed
• The report the app sends after iOS stops it while opening, or after a screen freezes, now includes where the app was at the time. The last version sent the report without that detail, so a problem on your phone could be seen but not placed

### 1.3.3 — 2026-09-10

Improved
• If the app is stopped by iOS while opening, the next launch now reports what it was doing when that happened, so a launch problem on your phone can be fixed rather than guessed at

### 1.3.2 — 2026-09-08

Fixed
• Opening the app on a network that is connected but not actually working — Wi-Fi with no internet, a captive portal — no longer leaves you on the splash screen for half a minute. The app moves on after a few seconds, a banner tells you when you are offline, and everything reloads on its own once you are back online
• Sign in with Apple now completes on devices where Apple's own sign-in sheet never appears: the app finishes the sign-in through the website instead of failing silently
