A careful record of every Christian community we can find in Alabama — from the historic downtown cathedrals to the storefront congregations at the edge of the map. 9,976 churches, across 542 towns and cities, representing 60 traditions.
Our Alabama record includes 9,976 active churches, drawn from every corner of the state — city cathedrals, rural meetinghouses, storefront missions, and the long-standing ethnic congregations that shape Alabama's religious texture.
We define "church" generously: any congregation gathering weekly or more often for public Christian worship, regardless of tradition, size, or affiliation. We list storefront missions alongside cathedrals. We do not rank.
Entries are arranged by tradition and by city. Where a church is distinguished by history, architecture, music, or civic witness, we have said so — quietly. Where it is ordinary, we have also said so, for ordinariness is what the overwhelming majority of churches offer, and what most people, most Sundays, are looking for.
