One shared place for the preached Word to remain discoverable.
Find the right answer
Find reliable paths into sermons, church profiles and their original source media.
Sermon Registry is a public library for discovering Christian sermons and the churches that publish them. It helps people find preaching by scripture, topic, preacher, church and other useful details.
Use Find a Sermon for four short guided questions and transparent matches without creating an account, or use full sermon search when you already know a word, passage, preacher or church. Recommendation reasons come from published metadata; optional AI text only becomes bounded filters and does not choose the results.
My Library privately stores sermons and churches you save, sermons you mark completed, and discovery preferences you explicitly choose. Automatic reading and playback progress is off until you enable it. Your explicit preferences rank recommendations, and completed sermons are excluded so they are not recommended again; saved items and partial progress do not alter the order or subscribe you to email.
Sermon Registry keeps metadata conservative. A scripture is listed only where the sermon contains an explicit citation or supported quotation. Empty or incomplete metadata is preferable to presenting a guess as fact.
Where your browser and the source language support it, an approved transcript may offer translation controls. Sermon Registry links to or embeds source media from the original publisher, so availability and playback remain subject to that provider.
Help make sermons and churches easier to discover while keeping the public record accurate.
Yes. Sign in, activate My Library, and use its Submit a sermon tool to paste an individual public YouTube URL. The existing importer verifies the video, checks that it is a sermon, rejects duplicates, processes captions and transcription once, and sends the result for review. You do not enter a church or upload a transcript manually.
Review protects churches, speakers and users from inaccurate, duplicate, misleading or unauthorised records. A submission is not automatically published, and the team may correct, request clarification, decline or remove material where needed.
Use the church submission form to provide the church name, location and public contact or source details. The listing is checked before it becomes publicly available.
Use Suggest a correction on a church page or Report this sermon on a sermon page. These contextual forms send the issue to the approved church administrator when one is available, otherwise to Sermon Registry for review.
Do not submit private information, unverified claims, content you are not authorised to share or link, copied transcripts without permission, or details that could put someone at risk. Use the original public source wherever possible.
Understand claiming, verification and the responsibilities that come with managing a church profile.
An approved administrator can maintain the church profile, including contact details, services, location, public links and media. They can also manage sermons connected to their church and review generated sermon information before it is published.
Yes. Claiming a church and standard church management are free. If an optional processing-heavy feature has a cost in the future, it will be clearly explained before it is used.
Requests are normally reviewed within two working days. You can see the current status in your account. If a request is not approved, review the reason, correct the relevant details and submit a new request when appropriate.
After approval, use the church-admin dashboard to update the assigned church profile and sermon records. Use Account to maintain your name and role at the church. Sign-in, password recovery and email verification are handled through the church-admin portal.
Approved administrators can complete a sermon form manually or use a supported YouTube sermon URL to extract available metadata and captions into the same editable form. The source must relate to the church’s verified YouTube channel before extraction can continue.
Automated transcripts and metadata can contain errors. Before saving a YouTube-assisted sermon, review the transcript and metadata against the original sermon, correct anything inaccurate, and publish only information your church is authorised to share or link.
At launch, each church has one approved administrator. If the assigned administrator changes or your church needs help with access, contact Sermon Registry with the church name and the reason for the change.
