Your website is your church's first welcome.
Most people look a church up online before they ever walk through the doors. A clear, current website tells them when to come, what to expect, and that they belong.
- Out-of-date informationLast season's schedule turns visitors away before they arrive.
- No one to maintain itThe volunteer who built the site has moved on, and the logins went with them.
- Tools you have to run yourselfWebsite builders still leave every update to the pastor or church office.
- Only a Facebook pageNewcomers search Google first and can't find your service times.
Built around the life of your church.
Your site carries what your people and your visitors need, all year long.
Sunday worship
Service times, directions, parking and what to expect on a first visit.
Through the week
Bible studies, youth group, suppers and ministries, kept current.
Seasons and celebrations

Common questions
Do we need to know anything technical?
No. If you can send an email or a text, you can keep your website current. We do the rest.
Who owns the website and the web address?
Your church does. Your web address is registered to your church, your words and photos are yours, and if you ever leave we hand you a copy of your site.
We only have a Facebook page. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Many churches start there. We build your draft from what's already on your page, and your website links to it.
Can our site be in Spanish or Portuguese?
Yes. We build sites in English, Spanish, Portuguese, or more than one language side by side.
Can people watch our services on the site?
Yes. If you stream on YouTube or Facebook, we add a Watch page so people can find your live service and past sermons in one place.
What if we want to cancel?
Cancel anytime with an email. There's no contract and no cancellation fee.
