How new listings are checked

Anyone can submit a church. The form asks for a name, a place, a category, and a short description. That submission is saved as pending. It does not show on the homepage or in search.

An editor reads the pending listing before it can be approved. The check is practical: is there a real place, a readable description, and contact details that look like they belong to a church rather than an advert.

Approved listings are the only ones visitors can open. If a submission is rejected, it stays out of the public directory. The person who submitted it can send a corrected listing later.

If your church is missing, use Submit a church and include the city and a description of the Sunday gathering. Editors cannot approve a name with no place attached to it.
