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 our whole job is making sure they find you at all, and that what they land on tells them everything they need to walk through your door.
We design and build the site at no charge. Keep us on for $99/month, or take the files and go — genuinely free either way.
A stranger’s phone at 9:41 on a Saturday. Address, parking, which door, what happens to their kid, how long it runs — before a single scroll.
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, and not real buildings.
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 subscription 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.
For the person who's never come
Plan Your Visit
Parking, the right door, kids' check-in, dress, service length — in plain words.
Found in local search
Church and event data marked up properly so you surface in “churches near me,” plus your Google Business Profile claimed and corrected.
Built for a phone first
Most of your traffic is mobile. Tap to call, tap for directions, fast on a five-year-old Android.
Spanish, if you need it
A second language edition where your neighborhood calls for one — not an afterthought.
For the people already with you
Events & registration
Individual event pages, recurring services, sign-ups for the retreat and VBS, filters by ministry.
Weekly announcements
The bulletin, on the website, updated by whoever already writes it.
Small groups & connect
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.
Contact that reaches the right person
Messages routed by department instead of landing in one inbox nobody owns. Spam filtered out.
Prayer requests & newsletter
Requests delivered privately. Email signup wired to whatever list you already keep.
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.
The top half is the part most churches have never seen: not what visitors did once they arrived, but how many were out there searching, and how many we actually brought in.
Good morning, Pastor. Best month since we started, and one thing worth acting on.
The most searched word on your site 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. Your grant account is comfortably compliant — click rate 7.4%, and Google wants 5%.
Churches on webmaster support get the bottom half of this. The search numbers arrive once we're running your local search or your Ad Grant, because until then there is nothing honest to put there.
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 run ads to a site we can't fix. Google suspends an Ad Grant that falls under a 5% click rate, and what happens after the click is most of what decides that. If we cannot edit the page the ad lands on, we will say so rather than spend your grant proving it.
- 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.
Two decades of search, pointed at the local church.
Our team brings more than twenty years of search marketing and web development experience. Our founder has led marketing teams for Fortune 500 companies — and has a servant's heart for local church ministry.
It is the same work either way. The difference is who it's for, and how much of it a church could otherwise afford.
Twenty-two years in search
Senior Director and Head of SEO roles at large companies, running the same channel that decides whether a stranger finds your church on a Saturday night. This is not a side skill we picked up for church work.
Built for churches, not adapted to them
Enterprise tactics translated down to a congregation of seventy, with the parts that don't apply thrown out rather than billed for. A church does not need what a Fortune 500 needs, and we won't pretend otherwise.
A servant's heart for the local church
The institutional work — schools, camps, Christian businesses — is priced like ordinary professional work, and it is part of what keeps the church side free. That arrangement is the whole point of the name.
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.
Take the files and go
For churches with someone who can host and maintain a website.
- The complete site and all source files
- A recorded walkthrough and written docs
- You owe us nothing, ever
Genuinely unsupported after handoff. We'd rather say that plainly than let you find out.
Talk it throughWe stay on as your webmaster
The site, kept alive by a person who knows your pastor's name.
- Hosting, security, backups, monitoring
- Unlimited content changes — you email, we do it
- The monthly one-page report
- Ongoing digital advice, included
Cancel any month. Pay annually and get twelve months for the price of ten — which also fits how churches actually budget.
Book a callAnd we get you found
Everything above, plus the work that puts you inside the search itself.
- Your Google Business Profile, claimed and kept current
- Church and Event structured data — how you turn up in churches near me
- Pages written for the towns you actually draw from
- Review requests, handled for you
- Every sermon transcribed, which is decades of searchable ground
This is the slow one. Local search compounds over months rather than weeks, and we will tell you honestly where you stand before you start.
Book a callAnd we run your Google Ad Grant
Google gives registered churches $10,000 a month in search ads. Almost nobody claims it.
- The grant applied for, and Google's 2026 verification cleared
- Campaigns for church near me, Christmas Eve, Easter, funerals, new in town
- Kept compliant — the grant is suspended below a 5% click rate
- Landing pages built for the ads and tuned against the results
- A monthly report showing who searched, who clicked, and who came
The $10,000 is Google's money, not yours. You are paying for the hands that run it. Add $399 once if you don't hold the grant yet and we'll do the paperwork.
Book a callAlready have a website you like?
Then keep it. We will work on what you have — it costs more, not less, because a site we don't control is slower to move and harder to fix.
Worth saying plainly: $749 to run the grant on the site you have, or $699 for all of it including a site we build you at no charge. The cheaper number is the one where we do more work — because a site we control is a site we can fix at four on a Saturday afternoon, and under the grant's rules the page the ad lands on is most of what decides whether the account survives.
Schools, camps, and Christian businesses
Admissions funnels, summer registration, multi-site, and organisations with a real marketing budget and a number to hit.
Priced like ordinary professional work — and it is part of what keeps the church side free.
Church 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.
