Intelligent search, verified listings, real GMB 4.8★ data for 142+ DFW churches.
Everything below is built into Upper Room DFW — surfaced where it helps families search and churches manage their presence, not as a separate “platform” menu.
Grid, list, map-only, and compact views on the Directory. Sixteen single-page and two multi-page listing templates for churches. Bootstrap-style responsive grid, RTL language support, and color/font customization via the palette control on the directory page.
Instant keyword search, category chips, facet filters, radius search, and draw-a-polygon on the map. Sort by rating, distance, or listing fields. Families search once; churches appear when they match.
Churches add listings via Contact or member dashboard. Claim an existing profile, choose free or paid plans, and unlock featured, sticky, or VIP placement. Packages control link count and duration.
Custom fields by category, visual form tools for admins, Font Awesome icons, drag-and-drop builders, and shortcodes for embedding listings on other pages — available to registered churches and site administrators.
OpenStreetMap (default), Google Maps, or MapBox on the directory sidebar map. Custom markers for featured listings, multi-directory filters (churches, ministries, events), and geolocation-aware radius search.
Multi-criteria star reviews, rating breakdowns, upvotes, and comments on each church profile page. Guest and logged-in visitors can participate; reviews can be bookmarked for later.
Listing photos, YouTube/Vimeo embeds, AJAX image upload for members, CSV import/export from the member area, and print/PDF listing sheets from church profile pages.
Registration, member dashboard, profile settings, saved listings, messages, notifications, and role-based access tied to free, trial, or paid packages.
See Pricing for plans. Stripe, PayPal, 2Checkout, and WooCommerce-style checkout in the member billing tab. Coupons (DFW10, CHURCH50), invoices, recurring subscriptions, and paid claim/submission options.
Admin panel with click statistics, SEO title/description generation, email templates (welcome, password reset, orders, reminders), and page settings — for staff, not public visitors.
Contact-owner forms on church pages, support requests, and Mailchimp/Vbout/Acumbamail sync for churches that opt in. Families use the main contact form; churches manage replies in their dashboard.
Shortcodes and widgets for search boxes, category lists, maps, and listing sliders — for churches embedding their presence on their own site. Configured through admin, not shown in the public header.
SEO-friendly listing pages, English/Spanish/Arabic (RTL) via the directory customize panel, Google Translate hook, and reCAPTCHA-ready forms on submission flows.
Bookmark listings, reviews, and photos from the directory and church pages. Saved count appears in the nav; collections help families compare churches before visiting.
Families start on the directory. Churches register or log in to manage their listing.
