Relational Heat Map — Public Edition

Rank by

Churches are the anchors: the map opens on the top 50 churches, with filters for other cutoffs and criteria. On the Geographic layout, preachers are not shown by default — a preacher appears only as a small black dot when a church it is connected to, or the preacher itself, is selected. Every line is a documented preaching visit from the appearances comb (2021–26) — no line means not yet documented, not no relationship. The Structural ties layer adds the documented daughter / founding / succession links between churches.

Hover or tap a node to see its name. Church — sized by ChurchScore, else appearances hosted Preacher Preaches for (line thickens with count) · thin dashed = pastor of Structural tie (toggle) Paler outer ring = churches with no documented ties yet

Top 100 ministers — Current Influence (V4.4.3)

The Current Influence board — CIS, ACTIVE persons only, the same Top 100 as the Leaders tab. Filter by name or org; ranks never renumber. Tap a minister to open their profile.

Current influence (V4.4.3) — CIS board

Ranked by CIS (Current Influence Score) under the V4.4.3 model, including the podcast channel and the TopGiving channel (mean giving rank, credited to each report year’s lead pastor). ACTIVE-status persons only; deceased and likely-deceased figures are on the Historical board below, never here. Each row shows the full component breakdown — Office · Structural · Preaching PC · Convening HB · Reach · Authorship · Teaching · Podcast · TopGiving — and CIS is their sum. Legacy shade (10% of historical points, capped at 10) is displayed beside CIS, labeled and never ranked on. Top 100. Tap a row to open the minister’s profile.

Board notes: TopGiving is credited era by era — each report year to the pastor that year’s report names for the church; all 125 listed giving churches carry a documented era lead.

Historical board (V4)

Ranked by historical-layer points (pre-2000 / historical structural record), all statuses. This is where DECEASED and LIKELY DECEASED persons live — they never appear on the Current board. The legacy shade derived from these points is shown beside CIS on the Current board, never ranked on.

V4.4.3 channels — leaders by component

Each V4.4.3 channel on its own: the people (or host churches) carrying that component, from v4-scores-v44.csv and the churches board. Tap a channel, then tap a person to open their profile.

Churches (V4.4.1) — composite ChurchScore board

Ranked by ChurchScore (max 24) — TopGiving (0–10, banded on mean giving rank) + Pastor (0–4, the lead pastor’s standing apart from this church) + Guests (0–4, the church’s convening HB, banded) + Conference (0–3, documented recurring conference hosting) + College (0–3, documented Bible-college host tie). All 143 churches with published data: the 125 UPCI Top-100 giving churches plus 18 convening-only churches. ALJC and WPF publish no per-church giving data, so their churches carry a structural TopGiving 0; a Guests 0 marked “not yet combed” is coverage, not a verdict.

Most connected churches — documented ties (V4.4.1)

Ranked by Connectedness: distinct guest preachers a church hosted + distinct other pulpits its lead pastor filled, counted from the eligible documented appearances (2021–26). Connectedness counts documented ties only — never directory or staff listings — so it measures connection, not documentation density. It is a floor: the appearances comb is partial, so a low figure can mean “not yet combed” rather than “not connected.” Churches with no documented ties yet are not listed.
