New to Seattle and unsure which Christian congregation to join? Check out ChurchRater.com, a website that provides reviews and rankings of local churches. Church Rater is the creation of former evangelical pastor Jim Henderson and atheist Matt Casper, who co-wrote the book Jim and Casper Go To Church, described as a witty and irreverent journey through America’s most prosperous and popular churches.
For Church Rater, Henderson and Casper hire non-Christians between the ages of 20-35 to visit and complete extensive surveys of churches, at $50 a pop. Pastors can also pay to have a “mystery worshipper” attend a service to gain feedback from an outsider.
