Current production set
The build reads the stored July 2025 directory snapshot, validates every state and city against a full location reference, requires a church name and street address, removes duplicate URLs, and publishes 1,923 records in 129 cities.
Excluded locations
46 cache groups were excluded because an earlier importer truncated multi-word place names. The site does not guess the missing place or redirect an uncertain church to a different congregation.

Google Maps
The embedded map is loaded directly from Google and includes Google's own attribution. Its current rating and review count are not stored in this directory. The browser key is restricted for website and Maps Embed use.
Affiliation labels
Categories are inferred from listing names and supplied source descriptions. They are filters, not official claims. Visitors should verify current denomination, network, governance, and beliefs with the church.
Update policy
Each record displays its source-check date. A correction needs a listing URL, the incorrect field, the proposed correction, and a public official source. We do not publish private member data.
