Christian Meetup App UK: Discover Faith Events Near You
Gathrd is a Christian event discovery and booking platform built specifically for UK churches, conferences and faith communities. Search worship nights, retreats, prayer meetings and church events by location, filter by interest, and book instantly.
What Makes Gathrd Different
Gathrd isn't a general events app like Meetup or Eventbrite. It's built exclusively for UK Christian events and the people who attend them. Whether you're looking for a midweek prayer gathering, a worship night, a youth conference, or a church retreat, everything on the platform is faith-focused. Churches and ministries use Gathrd to list events, manage bookings, and connect with attendees. Attendees use it to discover what's happening in their area, see details at a glance, and book a spot in seconds.
Finding Events Near You
The app uses a map view and filters so you can search by location, event type, date and denomination. Want to find prayer meetings in your postcode? Done. Looking for young adult worship events within 10 miles? The filters make that simple. Each event shows full details, capacity, cost and how to get there. You can save events to your calendar, set reminders, and see which friends are attending if they've shared that info.
Booking and Check-In
Booking is one tap. For ticketed events, you'll see the cost upfront. Many churches use Gift Aid split-checkout, so you can give a donation to the church at the same time as booking your ticket if you choose. On the day, organisers can check you in using NFC door check-in, which is faster than scanning codes and works even if the venue has no strong signal.
For Church Organisers and Leaders
If you run a church, youth group, or Christian event, Gathrd gives you an organiser dashboard to create events, manage bookings, see who's attending, and communicate with your community. You can set whether events are free or ticketed, apply Gift Aid, and integrate with other MRVL tools like Givr for church giving and Komuniti for community management. Pricing is simple: pay per ticket sold or choose a flat subscription if you run multiple events.
Available on iOS and Android
Gathrd works on iPhone and Android. Download the app, create your profile, enter your location, and start discovering faith events happening near you. Whether you're new to a church, exploring different communities, or a regular looking for what's on this week, the app puts every Christian event in your area in one place.
