The Episcopal Church Office of Public Affairs
A partnership between the Episcopal Church and FaithStreet
paves the way for congregations to connect their church with church
seekers through an innovative church locator that offers much more than a
search engine. "Our partnership with FaithStreet will give our
congregations a new tool to promote their churches," commented Anne
Rudig, Episcopal Church Director of Communication. "FaithStreet not
only locates a church, but works with a congregation to present the
mission and ministry done there in ways easily understood by a seeker.
It goes beyond address and contact info to providing an ethos or 'vibe'
of particular churches."
FaithStreet
currently showcases 3,580 churches in all 50 United States, in over
1,500 cities. This includes over 100 church networks and denominations
representing churches of all sizes, ranging from five to 10,000 members.
"FaithStreet is a tech-startup that is making it easy for anyone to
find and connect with a great Christian church in their area," explained
Ryan Melogy, Co-Founder. "We're creating a personalized church
discovery experience, where anyone will be able to find a great church
for them."
"Churches
will always be able to create a free profile on FaithStreet," noted
Sean Coughlin, Chief Executive Officer. "In the future, FaithStreet will
offer paid features, services, and advertising plans. These paid
services will be always being optional, affordable and effective."
