Find Christian Events Near Me with Gathrd
Gathrd is a UK Christian event discovery app that helps you find worship nights, conferences, retreats, prayer meetings, and church events near your location. Search by distance, denomination, or event type, then book directly through the app.
How Gathrd Works
Download the app on iOS or Android, set your location, and browse Christian events happening near you. The map view shows events by distance, while filters let you narrow results by event type, date, or church. Tap an event to see full details, availability, and pricing, then book your place in seconds. No need to visit multiple church websites or make phone calls. Everything is in one place.
Find Events That Match Your Interests
Whether you're looking for Sunday services, youth group meetings, prayer nights, Christian conferences, or weekend retreats, Gathrd indexes UK Christian events across denominations and independent churches. You can discover events you wouldn't normally hear about through your own church community. Many events are free; others have a small ticket cost. All bookings are handled securely through the app.
Easy Checkout with Gift Aid Support
When you book a paid event, checkout is simple. If you're a UK taxpayer, you can gift aid your ticket purchase so the church or organiser recovers the tax. No complicated forms. The app handles the verification and split automatically. Churches and event organisers benefit from this additional funding, which helps them put on better events for the community.
Check In at Events with NFC
On arrival day, many events use NFC door check-in powered by Gathrd. Tap your phone at the door and you're checked in instantly. Event organisers use this to track attendance and manage capacity. It also means no lost paper tickets and faster entry.
For Event Organisers
If you run a church, youth group, or Christian conference, you can list your events on Gathrd free of charge. Use the organiser dashboard to set up event details, manage bookings, and collect Gift Aid declarations. You pay a small fee per ticket sold or opt for a flat subscription tier. Integrate with other MRVL church tools like Givr for giving and Komuniti for community management.
Why Gathrd Instead of General Event Apps
Gathrd is built specifically for UK Christian events and churches, not general ticketing platforms. That means every event listed is faith-focused, every organiser understands the church context, and features like Gift Aid and integration with church-specific tools come built in. You're searching where Christian events actually are, not scrolling through conferences, concerts, and sports mixed together.

Frequently asked questions
Is Gathrd free to use?
Yes, the app is free to download and use as an attendee. You only pay for event tickets if the event organiser charges a fee. Event organisers pay per ticket sold or choose a subscription plan.
What if I can't find my church's events on Gathrd?
Your church may not have listed events yet. Ask your church leader or event coordinator to create a free organiser account on Gathrd and add their events. It takes just a few minutes.
Can I search for events by denomination or event type?
Yes. Filters let you search by event category (worship nights, prayer meetings, youth events, etc.), distance from you, and date. You can also browse by specific churches.
What happens if an event is cancelled?
Event organisers can cancel or reschedule events in the app, and you'll receive a notification. Refunds are handled according to the event's cancellation policy.
Do I have to gift aid my ticket purchase?
No, gift aid is optional. At checkout, you can choose whether to add gift aid to your purchase. If you're not a UK taxpayer, you won't see the option.
Is Gathrd available outside the UK?
Gathrd currently focuses on UK Christian events and churches. If you're planning to move to the UK or are visiting and want to find church events, the app works great. Outside the UK, event availability will be limited.
