How many churches are there in the world?
Answer
No one has an exact count, and estimates vary widely into the millions of congregations worldwide. The Living Bread maps real churches from open data (OpenStreetMap); you can see live counts by country and city in its directory. What matters most is that Christ's church is his people, gathered around him, not a building.
“Matthew 16:18” the Bible points here. Read more Scripture.

You do not have to sort this out alone. On The Living Bread you can ask the family to pray with you, ask Simon anything about faith, read the Word, and find a church near you.
