A careful record of every Christian community we can find in Texas — from the historic downtown cathedrals to the storefront congregations at the edge of the map. 23,267 parishes, across 1,226 towns and cities, representing 63 traditions.
Our Texas record includes 23,267 active parishes, drawn from every corner of the state — city cathedrals, rural meetinghouses, storefront missions, and the long-standing ethnic congregations that shape Texas's religious texture.
We define "parish" 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 parish 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.
