Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
Just entering the data of churches into a database is permissible, but if this data that you enter serves the people who are running these churches in their religion and falsehood, then it is not permissible for you to do that, as this is helping in falsehood; while Allaah says (what means): {And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allaah; indeed, Allaah is severe in penalty.} [Quran 5:2]
You should know that whoever fears Allaah, Allaah will help him and provide for him good sustenance and that whoever leaves something for the Sake of Allaah [i.e. out of fearing Him], Allaah will compensate him with something better. Allaah says (what means): {And whoever fears Allaah - He will make for him a way out. And will provide for him from where he does not expect.} [Quran 65:2-3]
Besides, the Prophet said: "You do not leave something for the Sake of Allaah, except that Allaah brings you something better than it." [Ahmad]
Allaah Knows best.
