Sources and Editorial Approach
How church details are checked and what the directory can establish.
Primary sources include official local church websites and church-network registers. A name, nationality or website language is not proof of a worship language. Source links and last-check dates appear on church profiles.
Public address points are matched against BAG address information through PDOK. A BAG point identifies an address, not a confirmed accessible entrance. Communities without sufficiently confirmed coordinates remain in the list.
We do not copy complete third-party church databases or use generated pictures as photographs of actual churches. Existing official logos identify the listed organisation and do not establish a partnership.
Technical source checks
A rotating technical check flags unreachable church websites and possible title, address-metadata or URL changes for review. It does not establish active status, verify service times or automatically change published facts.
Corrections
Changes enter a protected moderation queue. Editors check sources and community identity before changing the shared catalogue. Dutch and English profiles then use the same updated facts.
