About
Finding your nearest church shouldn't be hard.
Nearby Church is a free, independent directory of Christian churches across the United Kingdom. Enter your postcode, and within seconds you'll see every church nearby - on a map, with service times, contact details, and directions - filtered however you need.
Our mission
Whether you've just moved to a new town, you're visiting somewhere for the weekend, or you simply want to explore what's nearby, this tool is here to make that first step easy. No account, no adverts, no data harvesting - just a straightforward search.
Church location data comes from OpenStreetMap, a freely editable map of the world maintained by volunteers. Service times and contact details are gathered directly from church websites and are updated regularly. The site covers over 39,000 churches and is growing.
This is a personal project, built and maintained by one person. There are no investors, no ads, no premium tier. It exists because it felt like a useful thing to build.
Buy me a coffee?
Running the site has small costs - hosting, the domain, and the time spent keeping everything up to date. If you find it useful and feel like contributing, there's a Ko-fi link at the top of the page where you can leave a one-off donation.
It is absolutely not expected or needed. The site will always be free regardless. But if it helped you find your Sunday morning, a small coffee is always appreciated.
