Core Feature

Directory Management

Churches, Events, Ministries, and Venues — each with their own rich profile, admin tools, and optional connections to one another. Each type is fully independent: you don't need a church to add an event, and you don't need any affiliation to list a ministry.

Adding a new listing

1 Create a free account and complete your profile.
2 Use the correct route for the entity you want to publish: churches, events, and ministries have dedicated submission forms; venues start from the venue-provider flow.
3 The submission enters an admin review queue — checked against our statement of faith and community guidelines.
4 Once approved, your listing goes live in the directory automatically.
5 Manage, edit, and expand it at any time from your dashboard.

Claiming an existing listing

1 Find the existing listing in the directory.
2 Click "Claim this listing" and submit your claim with your details.
3 Admin reviews the claim to verify your connection to the entity.
4 Once approved, you gain full management access — edit, add events, manage circles, and more.
5 The listing stays live throughout; claiming doesn't take it offline.

Applies to: Churches, Events, Ministries. Venues are managed directly by whoever creates the provider account.

Church Integrations

Churches are the hub. Every other entity type connects back to them.

Events → Church Page

Every event linked to your church appears automatically in the "Upcoming Events" section on your church page and website.

Circles → Church Page

Circles created under your church appear in a dedicated section on your listing, making it easy for visitors to join small groups.

Ministries → Church Page

Ministry owners can request association with a church, and church owners can approve requests from Manage Church. Approved ministries appear on the church listing.

Bible Studies → Church Page

When church leaders share Bible study documents publicly, they appear in a "Bible Study Resources" section on the church page.

Venues → Church Page

Rooms and spaces you list for hire appear in a "Rooms for Hire" section so visitors know your space is available to the community.

Church Management

Claimed churches manage announcements, sermons, website content, circles, and contact workflows from the same dashboard area.

Event Listings

Add any Christian event — services, conferences, community days, outreach, courses. Events can be global or local: local events get a map pin; global or online events don't require a location. No church account needed — anyone can add an event independently as an individual or organisation.

Link to a church or ministry — appears on their profile automatically
Category and series tagging for discovery

Recurring Events

The built-in recurrence wizard handles weekly services, monthly courses, and irregular schedules. Sessions are listed individually so each occurrence is findable — useful for people searching "Sunday service near me" on any given week.

Event Integrations

Church Page

Events linked to a church show in the "Upcoming Events" section on the church listing and auto-generated website.

Map Search

Events with a location are shown as pins in the map-based directory, making them discoverable by location.

Ministry Events

Events linked to a ministry listing appear on the ministry profile page alongside the organisation's description and contact details.

Ministry & Charity Listings

Ministries, faith-based charities, parachurch organisations, and specialist initiatives get their own listing — fully independent of any church. You can optionally link your ministry to a church, but it isn't required. A national prison ministry, a food bank, or a local youth outreach can all list here with no church affiliation.

Dedicated listing with description, contact, and social links
Category tagging (discipleship, outreach, youth, food bank, etc.)
Optional church association when your ministry is connected to a local church
Own events listing on the ministry page

Ministry Integrations

Church Association

Ministry owners can request association to a church. Once approved by a church owner, the association shows on both ministry and church pages.

Events

Events can be submitted under a ministry so they appear both on the ministry profile and in the main events directory.

Venues & Rooms for Hire

Any organisation or individual with a Kingdom Connect account can list spaces for community hire — halls, meeting rooms, sanctuaries, and smaller rooms. Venues can be linked to a church but don't have to be. There is no claim process for venues: the listing belongs to the account that creates it, and all new venue applications are reviewed by admin before going live. Browse the directory at /places/venues.

Multiple rooms per provider with individual details, capacity, and photos
Enquiry form for every room — requests land in your inbox
Booking management dashboard for providers

Venue Integrations

Church Page

Venues linked to a church appear in the "Rooms for Hire" section on the church listing, making them visible to people looking for community spaces.

Places Directory

All venues appear in the searchable /places/venues directory — filterable by location, capacity, and type.

Provider Dashboard

Room providers have a dedicated management panel for viewing enquiries, managing availability notes, and editing room details.

Enquiry Inbox

Booking requests are delivered to the provider's inbox (and optionally via email), keeping the enquiry process within the platform.

Church workflow

Start with search, then choose claim or submit

Churches usually already have a public directory presence or are added by someone in the congregation. The cleanest path is to search first, then either claim the existing listing or submit a new one if nothing is there yet.

1
Check whether your church is already listed
Search the churches directory first to avoid duplicate listings. If you find your church, use the claim flow instead of adding it again.
2
Claim the listing if it already exists
Open the church profile and start the claim process. Claims are reviewed by admin before ownership is assigned to your account.
Go to church claim guidance
3
Submit a new church if it is not listed yet
Use the dedicated Add Church form to send your church details, service information, images, and contact details for review.
Open Add Church
4
Wait for review, then manage from your dashboard
Once approved or claimed, you can update the listing, manage announcements, circles, sermons, inbox items, and unlock the church website builder.

Ready to claim or add your church?

Start by checking whether your church is already listed. Claiming keeps the existing listing live while your ownership request is reviewed. New churches can be submitted through the dedicated add form.
