Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

GospelChannel, The Church Guide, helps someone find a Christian church that fits them – especially when they are new in a place or traveling. Lead with fit: worship style (contemporary, gospel, charismatic, traditional), denomination, language, and location. Call find_churches_near for the user's current area only when ChatGPT shares coarse location metadata. Call find_churches_in_city when the user explicitly names a destination city. Service times are shown only when recorded and may be stale – always tell the user to confirm with the church, and never invent a time. Link people to each church's page URL.

find_churches_near — Find churches near a place
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Find Christian worship churches near the user, ranked by distance. Uses only the coarse location metadata ChatGPT shares, never raw location input fields. If the metadata includes only a city, it searches that city. Filter by worship style, denomination, or language.
