Watch
The explorer shows where the church stands. This section shows how it moves. Each exhibit here is one motion with a caption, drawn from the same data as everything else on this site, and each keeps a permanent address so our letters can point at it.

801 congregations still meeting today, placed on the map the year each was founded, from 1835 to 2026. Scrub the years, or press play and watch the metro fill.

Is the church keeping pace?
New congregations per 100,000 residents, division by division, across the census editions. The metro grows; this map asks whether planting does.

More exhibits come as the data can honestly carry them. If there is a motion you wish this page showed, write to info@missionatx.org.
