YouVersion Connect for Churches

Who Can Create a Church Profile?

YouVersion Connect is designed for local churches that meet the following criteria:

1. Regular Gatherings – Your church meets consistently for worship, biblical teaching, and community connection.
2. Mainstream Christianity – Your church aligns with historical, mainstream Christian beliefs.
3. Unique Representation – No other submissions exist with the same website or physical address.

Why Create a Church Profile?

A Church Profile allows you to:

1. Engage Your Congregation – Encourage your church community to follow your profile and receive recommended Plans in the Bible App.
2. Customize Your Church Presence – Add service times, location, and other details to help people discover and connect with your church.
3. Access Insights – View anonymous, aggregated data on how your community engages with Scripture.

Churches vs. Ministries

Churches and ministries both play essential roles, but only local churches can create a Church Profile. Ministries that want to share Bible-based content can apply as Content Partners instead.
