About This Site

Although it may not appear so, this has been a very challenging and time-consuming project. I have spent many hours migrating the data from the old site into this new interface. I have done my very best to ensure that every piece of information made it to the new site and will display in the best format. Despite all that, I am sure I have missed some pieces of information or made errors in how the information is presented. Please accept my apologies if your information is not correct and notify us so that your listing displays the most up-to-date information.

Which Congregations are listed here?

This is a listing of many non-institutional churches of Christ throughout the World. Our intent is to list only congregations that would describe themselves as “conservative and non-institutional”.  In short, congregations which do not support human institutions such as:

  • Use of Church Treasury to build “Life Centers”, “Fellowship Halls”, etc.
  • Orphans Homes
  • Missionary Societies (where churches send money to a central
    sponsoring church - which then distributes money to preachers.

For more information on the definition of these terms see: Collection of Articles on Institutionalism
.

Recommended Use Tips

  1. The fastest way to find a congregation is to use the keyword search in the top of the columns on the right. You can search on congregation name, city, or anything else that might be unique.
  2. You will notice the list of  Categories consisting of states and regions in the right-hand columns. Some states simply did not have enough congregations to justify their own category, and hence were linked together with other states in the region.
    1. By clicking on one of the state or region names, you will see a list of the congregations within that category.
    2. If the category is a region, by holding your cursor over the region name you will see a list of the included states.
    3. There is also a link preceded by the”–>” to a map, which is a map displaying a pin for each congregation which included enough information to place it on the map.

      4. The numbers in parentheses next to the map, represent the number of listings in that category.  If you place your cursor/pointer over one of the pins, you will see a text tip with the name of the congregation that pin is representing.  By left-clicking the pin, you will see a text “cloud” with some information from the listing.
