Common questions
Is the basic listing really free?
Yes. Every church listed on NearFaith can be claimed for free. You can edit your service times, contact info, description, and visitor details with no payment ever required.
What does Premium add?
Priority placement in search results, a "Top Pick" badge on your listing card, promoted events, and listing analytics so you can see how people are finding you. $29/mo, billed monthly via Stripe. Cancel anytime.
Will my listing disappear if I cancel Premium?
No. Cancelling Premium just removes the priority placement and the badge. Your free verified listing stays live.
How do I prove I represent the church?
We email a 6-digit code to the address you provide. The code confirms you have access to that mailbox. We recommend using an email tied to your church's domain (e.g. you@yourchurch.org) to speed things up.
Who edits the basic data on a church listing?
Until a church is claimed, the listing is generated from publicly available sources (Google Places, public directories). Once you claim it, you control all editable fields and your edits override the auto-generated data.
Can I claim multiple churches?
Yes — claim each one separately with its own verification email. If you manage a multisite or denomination, contact hello@nearfaith.com and we'll set you up.
