Someone is looking for your church tonight.
They're on a phone. They've never walked in. In about twenty seconds they'll decide whether to show up Sunday — and right now the page they land on probably isn't telling them a single thing they need to know.
We design and build the site at no charge. Keep us on for $75/month, or take the files and go — genuinely free either way.
Most church websites are built for people who already go.
They open with a video from last Easter and bury the service time three clicks deep. Meanwhile the person who found you at nine on a Saturday night wants to know six things, and can't find any of them.
Where do I park? Which door? What do I wear? What happens to my kid? How long is this? Will anyone make me stand up and introduce myself?
Every site gets a Plan Your Visit page
Parking told in plain words. A photograph of the actual door a stranger should walk through. How children's check-in works, step by step. What people wear. How long the service runs. And an explicit promise that nobody will single them out.
Service times in the header of every page
Not a feature — a rule. Along with tap-to-call and tap-for-directions, because most of the people finding you are on a phone, standing up, in a hurry. Your members already know where to park. We build for the one who doesn't.
Templates all look like templates. Ours don't.
We reuse the engineering underneath — that's how the price stays honest. What we build fresh for every church is the part people actually perceive: their typeface, their color, their voice, their own photography, and one signature element drawn from their building. Click through and watch a real site change hands.
Illustrative examples, built to show the system — not real client churches.
Your office keeps every tool it already has.
Church websites go stale because updating them means learning something. So we don't ask anyone to learn anything. Nothing gets entered twice, and there's no new password for the administrator to forget.
Events flow from your Google Calendar
Whoever keeps the church calendar keeps doing exactly that. Events appear on the site with their own pages, add-to-calendar links, sign-up forms where you need them, and filters so families can see only what's for kids.
Sermons arrive from YouTube on their own
Upload the way you already do. The website catches up by itself — and generates the audio version, the podcast feed, and the transcript without anybody lifting a finger.
Announcements come from one shared document
Whoever writes the bulletin already knows how. Type it Thursday, it's on the site Thursday. This is the most-changed content on any church site, and it should never require a phone call.
And when you want something that isn't on that list — a new ministry page, a staff photo, wording the elders want softened, a whole section rethought — you email a person and the person does it. That's what the seventy-five dollars is for.
Every sermon you've ever preached, searchable.
Most church sites treat preaching as a list of video links in reverse order. Yours becomes a library — filter by book of the Bible, search the words inside the sermon, and listen in the car. Try it.
- A written transcript on every sermon. Quietly the most valuable thing on your site: it makes decades of preaching findable, it serves anyone hard of hearing, and when a neighbor searches a hard question at midnight, the answer can be your pastor's.
- A real podcast feed. Your preaching appears in Apple Podcasts and Spotify, where people already listen.
- Audio-only versions, because most people listen while driving — and series pages that keep a nine-week study together.
- Scripture tagged automatically. Preach through Philippians and the whole series assembles itself, cross-referenced with everything you've said on it before.
All of it, in the free build.
There is no premium tier that unlocks the good parts. This is simply what a church website should be in 2026, whether you pay us a monthly fee afterward or take the files and walk away.

Searchable by day, neighborhood, and season of life — so “how do I get involved” has an answer.
Livestream page
Quiet midweek, live Sunday, without anybody editing a page.
Giving that just works
One tap, through an established provider that specializes in it. Your offering never flows through your web guy.

Ministry & staff pages
A page per ministry with a real person's name on it, plus your statement of faith and your history.
Under the hood, where you'll never look
Loads in under a second
Built as static pages on a global network — no database to go down, nothing to break on a Sunday morning.
Watched every hour
If your site goes down Saturday at eleven at night, we find out before you do. Weekends escalate loudly.
Readable at seventy
Real contrast, generous type, captions, full keyboard access. A good share of your congregation needs this and won't ask.
Backed up continuously
Every version of every page kept, so a bad edit is a thirty-second fix rather than a crisis.
A one-page email, on the first of every month.
Churches pay people for websites and then never see one shred of evidence anything happened. No dashboard to log into, no numbers you have to interpret. If a month was quiet, it says that too.
Good morning, Pastor. Steady month, and one thing worth acting on.
The most searched word on your site last month was “VBS” — 23 times, mostly the week of the 11th. Your VBS page is currently three clicks deep. Want me to put it on the homepage? It'll take me ten minutes and you don't need to reply with anything but “yes.”
Uptime was 100%. Two updates went out, both on Tuesday.
The digital help nobody on staff has time for.
Once the site is live there's usually a longer list — things churches know they should be doing and have nobody to hand to. We can consult on any of it, and often the first one pays for everything else.
Google Ad Grants
Registered nonprofits qualify for a substantial monthly budget of free Google search advertising — a five-figure-a-month program that the overwhelming majority of churches never touch. We'll tell you whether you qualify, get you enrolled, and run it. Imagine your Plan Your Visit page showing up for everyone in your zip code searching “church near me.”
Free email for your whole staff
Google Workspace is free for qualifying nonprofits, which means real addresses at your own domain instead of a pastor handing out a personal Gmail. We'll set it up, migrate the mail, and never host it ourselves — because your email deserves better than a web shop.
Livestream & sermon distribution
Getting Sunday online without a production team, and getting your preaching into the podcast apps people already use.
Choosing the systems you'll live with
Church management software, giving platforms, email lists, event registration. We have no reseller deals and no incentive to steer you — we'll just tell you what we'd pick and why.
We also work with Christian schools, camps, campus ministries, nonprofits, and Christian-owned businesses. Same posture, different scope — those projects are quoted normally, and honestly they're part of what makes the free church work possible.
What we will never do.
Some of this is conviction and some is knowing our limits. Either way you should hear it before you hire us, not after.
- We will never hold your domain name. It stays registered to your church, in an account your church controls. We ask only for permission to point it at the new site. Every church we launch gets a written page explaining exactly how to take everything and leave — whether they ever want to or not.
- We will never touch your giving. Donations run through an established provider built for it. Nothing about your offering should depend on us.
- We won't build a member directory or a login area. Congregational data deserves better protection than a church website budget can honestly buy — including ours.
- We won't post identifiable photos of children without a signed release on file. We build excellent children's ministry pages without a single child's face, and we do it routinely.
- We won't break your email. If your staff mail runs on your domain, we record every setting before touching anything. The most common way a church website migration goes wrong is the pastor's inbox going dark, and it will not happen here.
- We won't sell you something you don't need. If your current site is serving you well, we'll say so and wish you a good Sunday.
No catch, and no trial that expires.
We build the site at no charge whether you're starting from nothing or moving off something that let you down. Then you choose what happens next — and one of the choices is walking away with everything.

Priced like normal work — and it's part of what keeps the church side free.
Get a quoteChurch plants are especially welcome. No existing site to untangle, no committee, and usually a launch Sunday with a date on it. If your network or sponsoring church is covering launch costs, we're glad to bill them directly.
Three weeks — and almost none of it is your work.
Church website projects die because somebody hands the church a list of things to write. We never will. Send us what you already have — your last three bulletins, your logo, a link to a sermon — and we draft everything from it. You correct. Correcting is fast; writing is what takes six months.
- Day 0A twenty-minute phone call.We ask about parking, doors, kids, and what people call the office asking about. Then we send a short list of things to find — not things to write — and set the build date out loud.
- Day 7We start building with whatever arrived.No waiting for the complete set. A logo, three bulletins and a sermon link is enough to build the whole structure. Photos and bios backfill later.
- Day 14You see the real thing at a private link.Not a mockup — the actual working site. You tell us what's wrong and we fix it. One honest revision round beats five polite ones.
- Day 21Live, with the handoff document in hand.We point your domain carefully, confirm nothing broke, and give you the written page explaining how to take it all elsewhere if you ever want to.
One request, and it's the only thing we'll be firm about
Name a single person who can approve the site without waiting on a committee vote. That one decision is the whole difference between three weeks and three months, and every church that's ever been disappointed by a website project skipped it.
Why “Doulos”?
Doulos is the word Paul reaches for when he introduces himself — “Paul, a doulos of Christ Jesus.” It doesn't mean volunteer. It means someone who belongs to another and isn't his own.
There's an older picture behind it. In Exodus, a servant who had earned his freedom could refuse it: “I love my master… I do not want to go free.” His ear was pierced at the doorpost, and he stayed — not because he was owned, but because he had chosen whose he was.
That's the posture we want toward the churches we work for. We're not the ministry. We're the ones making sure the ministry has a decent front door.
Not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy.
2 Corinthians 1:24
Twenty minutes on the phone.
No proposal, no slide deck, no pressure. Tell us about your congregation and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help — and if your current site is already serving you well, we'll say so and wish you a good Sunday.
We reply within one business day, and a real person reads every one of these.
