Christian Social Events Finder for UK Worship and Faith Community
Gathrd is a Christian event discovery platform built specifically for UK churches, conferences, and faith communities. Browse worship nights, retreats, prayer meetings, and local church events near you, then book with a single tap.
How Gathrd Works for Event Discovery
Download the app and see Christian events happening near you on an interactive map. Filter by event type, distance, date, and denomination. Whether you're looking for a weekend worship night, a youth conference, a prayer meeting, or a local church gathering, Gathrd surfaces events from churches and ministries across the UK. Tap an event to view full details, speaker information, and pricing, then book your place directly through the app. Payment is handled securely, and organisers can offer Gift Aid on donations if they choose.
Built for UK Christians Seeking Community
Gathrd is designed for churchgoers, young adults, and Christians aged 18-55 who want to discover faith events beyond their local parish. If you're new to an area, exploring different churches, or looking for specific types of gatherings, the app connects you with events that match your interests. Unlike general event platforms, Gathrd focuses exclusively on Christian events, so you won't wade through unrelated listings. The platform integrates with church giving apps like Givr, making it natural to support event costs or causes through the same ecosystem.
For Event Organisers and Churches
Churches, youth leaders, and ministry teams use Gathrd's organiser dashboard to list events, manage bookings, and handle check-ins. The platform supports Gift Aid split-checkout, so donations benefit from tax relief, and NFC door check-in lets volunteers scan attendees on arrival without paper lists. Pricing for organisers is flexible: pay per ticket sold or choose a flat tier subscription, depending on your event volume. Full integration with the MRVL ecosystem means organisers can tie events into their church management, giving, and community platforms.
Event Types You'll Find
Gathrd hosts a wide range of Christian gatherings: Sunday worship services and midweek meetings, prayer nights and Bible studies, youth conferences and retreats, mission trips and volunteer events, Easter and Christmas services, and denominational conferences. Each event listing includes date, time, location, description, speaker bios, cost, and booking instructions. Many events are free, others request a donation or charge a ticket price.
