Is It Really Worth Listing My Business in a Christian Directory?

Let’s Be Honest—It’s a Fair Question

If you’re a Christian business owner, you’ve probably seen online directories before and asked yourself, “Is this even worth it?” Maybe you’ve been burned by overpriced platforms in the past, or you’re wondering if anyone actually uses directories in 2025. We get it—and we’re here to tell you why, for believers in business, the answer is yes. Especially when it comes to faith-based directories like On Team Jesus.

Reason #1: Visibility Where It Matters

Think about how people find local businesses today. Most start with a search—“Christian plumber near me” or “faith-based counselor in Arizona.” A listing in a Christian directory helps your business show up in those searches, especially when the directory itself ranks well in Google. When someone is specifically looking to support fellow believers, they’ll often search “Christian-owned” or browse a site like ours to find someone they trust. If your business isn’t listed, they’ll find someone else’s.

Reason #2: SEO Benefits You May Not See

Search engines love backlinks—and quality directories give your website exactly that. Each time your site is linked from a relevant, high-quality page, it tells Google your site is trustworthy. Being listed on On Team Jesus adds a credible backlink to your website, which helps improve your overall SEO rankings.

Plus, many directories like ours are optimized to include your city, state, service category, and keywords—all things that can help Google connect your business to the right local searches.

Reason #3: It Connects You With Like-Minded Customers

In a world that’s growing more divided by the day, many people are hungry to do business with those who share their values. When your business is listed in a Christian directory, it’s not just about what you do—it’s about who you are. You’re saying, “I’m on Team Jesus. I run my business with faith, honesty, and integrity.” And people notice that.

We’ve heard from customers who were deeply moved to find a believer fixing their roof, catering their wedding, or helping them through taxes. Being listed in a Christian directory is one small way to make those connections possible.

Reason #4: It’s a Way to Support the Kingdom

When you list your business on a directory like ours, you’re not just boosting your own visibility—you’re helping to build a network of Kingdom-minded professionals. That matters. The more Christians support one another, the stronger we all become. It’s one way to put Galatians 6:10 into action: “Let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”

And by the Way… It’s Free

On Team Jesus offers free listings for Christian-owned businesses. Yes, free. No catches, no credit card required. We also offer premium options for those who want even more visibility, but we’ve made sure the basic listing gives you a real benefit without any cost. Why? Because we want to build something bigger than a business. We want to build a community that honors God and supports one another.

So Is It Worth It?

If you want to reach more people, build trust, improve your online presence, and support other believers, then yes—it’s 100% worth it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. List your business, represent Christ, and connect with others doing the same. That’s what being on Team Jesus is all about.
