There are a great deal more than seven Christian churches mentioned in The Bible. The term 'church' of course means a group of Christians and not a 'church building', as these had not yet come about, Christians meeting in each others' homes or in secret for fear of persecution. The seven churches that are mentioned in Revelation are: 1. the church at Ephesus 2. The church in Smyra 3. The church in Pergamum (Pergamos) 4. The church in Thyatria 5. The church in Sardis6. The church in Philadelphia 7, the church in Laodicea.

However, there were many more churches set up across the Mediterranean area in addition to these. Paul wrote letters to the same church in Ephesus as mentioned in Revelation, but also to churches in Rome, Corinth, Galatia, Philippi, Colossi and Thessalonika. We also know that there were probably several churches set up in Israel, Galilee and Judea, including Jerusalem.
