Author: Elaine 4,806 churches by the end of 2007, an increase of 576 churches over the past year alone. Growth took place across almost all of the denominations with many of the early forerunners again stepping to the fore.
Author: Elaine 4,230 churches by the end of 2006, an increase of 484 churches.

Author: Elaine 3,746 churches by the end of 2005, an increase of 238 churches. A year marked by growth across almost all the denominations with new denominations being added all the time. How many new churches were added this year? How are these churches spread across the various denominations? It's all here.

This has occurred during some of the worst anti-gay sentiment we have seen since the inception of the gay Christian movement some thirty odd years ago.
2003 Welcoming Church Survey Author: Elaine The directory stood at 3,025 churches by the end of 2003.
