Lives of Scripture

A reference for every person named in the Bible

New Testament Churches

Every local church named in the New Testament, from Jerusalem at Pentecost to the seven churches of Revelation. Click a church to see everyone Scripture explicitly ties to it by name — founders, hosts, elders, deacons, and members greeted by name — along with the reference that supports each one. A person who appears under more than one church reflects Scripture recording them at more than one congregation over time.
