Radical Hospitality

Build a “Find-A-Church” Profile as one tool in becoming a more welcoming and engaging church
On the new, redesigned Find-a-Church directory at umc.org, a simple search offers up a seeker-friendly introduction to every United Methodist Church in the United States. Now when you update your Find-a-Church page you can:
  • Announce your worship schedule
  • Add a picture of your church and its people
  • Share a word of welcome
  • Answer Frequently-Asked-Questions
  • Include an interactive map with driving directions
  • In three steps your church’s database entry will become an interactive information source for seekers in your area.
    1. Print the “Getting Started” checklist. Several new open-text fields have been added. This document will guide you through the new Find-a-Church fields with explanations and examples.
    2. Login to the Find-a-Church directory and complete your update. To ensure the accuracy of the directory information we ask that only designated church staff and church members submit changes. If you are church staff or a church member, you will be required to enter the 6-digit GCFA church ID number below to begin the submission process. This number appears on the enrollment form for Interpreter magazine from United Methodist Communications. If you do not have this form, contact your district office for this number.
    If you have questions about updating your Find-a-Church information, contact United Methodist Communications at FAC@umc.org or 1-800-251-8140.
