What this count does and does not tell you
The 370 churches counted for New York are the places that volunteers have tagged as churches on OpenStreetMap, as of 2026-08-15. It is a map, not a ranking, and it says nothing about how alive any one congregation is. House churches, new plants and small congregations are often missing. If your church is not listed, you can add it, and a believer who gathers people near you can start a group on this page.
