Church email list (2026)

By Louis-Marie Giudicenti. Published . Updated . Data read .

A church email list, here, is a list of churches as organizations, with the email, phone number and address they publish: not a list of members. Primavera counts 464,799 churches on Google Maps in the United States as of November 9, 2026: 248,321 of them (53.4%) come with an email address, 51.7% with a website and 77.4% with a phone number. More of them have an email than a website on their listing, and 48.1% of their websites link to YouTube, the highest share of any trade.

Rows are listings whose Google Maps category names a church, chapel or cathedral, all Christian denominations; mosques, synagogues and temples are not in this count. The U.S. Religion Census counted 356,739 congregations of all faiths (2020), and the Census Bureau 186,801 religious organizations with paid employees (2023). A parish can have several listings: 464,799 in all.

What a row contains, and how often each field is filled for churches

Every row has the business name, its Google Maps categories, its address or the area it serves, and the link to its listing. The other fields depend on what each business publishes. You pick the columns of your CSV or Excel file.

All US churches: 53.4% with an email

Texas has 39,390 churches; Mississippi has 36.0 per 10,000 residents. The share with an email runs from 22.4% in Utah to 67.9% in Washington, across the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The five states with the most churches per resident are all in the South: Mississippi, West Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee.

Source: Primavera, November 9, 2026. Residents: U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 estimates. A share with an email is shown for states with 300 listings or more.

Against the average US business, the Google Ads tag is less than half as common on the websites of churches (34th of 36), and the Meta tag about four fifths as common (23rd of 36).

Churches rarely advertise: the Google Ads tag sits on 1.8% of their sites. Facebook links are on 69.4%.

Note: Shares of the 204,591 websites Primavera read. The Meta tag also loads Facebook’s buttons and chat, so its share is an upper bound. GoDaddy, Weebly and Duda sites count as no recognized builder.

Visitors rate churches 4.68 stars on average; only 4.9% sit under 4.

1.6% belong to a chain or network

Only 1.6% of listings belong to a network our matching recognizes. Congregations rarely share one name and website, so denominations are not measured here.

Across all US businesses, the share is 7.9%. The search’s “Hide chains” setting leaves them out.

What these figures don’t say

  • Other faiths. Mosques, synagogues and temples are not counted.
  • Denominations. The count does not split Baptist, Catholic or Methodist churches; the search can keep one category.
  • Congregation size. A chapel and a megachurch count once each.
  • People’s contacts. The email is the one the business publishes.
  • Whether an address delivers. Checks run on request, once the list exists.
