People find you at the moment they are looking
Somebody types your town and the word church into a phone at eleven at night. A website answers the two questions they have — where, and when.
Why would a church need a website?
A fair question, and nobody has ever really answered it for you.
For ministries that have managed without one
Somebody is looking for your church this week. Right now they cannot find you.
Not a stranger passing through — a family that has just moved, a student away from home, a son trying to find a church for his mother. They will search, they will find nothing they can use, and they will go somewhere they can.
What it does
Six things that happen the week it goes up
None of these need anybody at your church to be good with computers.
Your service times stop being a phone call
The most asked question a church gets is the one nobody should have to ask.
Sermons stop disappearing
A recording posted to a social feed is gone in a week. A website keeps every one of them, in order.
Somebody can give without asking how
One page with your own bank details or QR code, and the money goes straight to your account — never through us.
You can say what you actually believe
A website is yours: your statement of faith, in full, in your words.
It works in your congregation own languages
A church whose people read Burmese, Chinese and English needs a site that does all three properly.
The honest questions
What people usually say first
These are the actual objections, not the ones a sales page invents so it can knock them down.
-
We already have a Facebook page. Is that not enough?
It is not nothing, and keep it. But it is not yours: the platform decides who sees a post, and a person who is not signed in often cannot read it at all.
-
Nobody at our church knows how to run a website.
That is the normal situation. If somebody can write a message on a phone, they can post a sermon, and setup is done for you.
-
We are a small congregation. Is this not for big churches?
The opposite. A large church is already known; a congregation of forty is the one nobody can find.
-
We cannot afford it.
Prices start at US$69, and there is a supported-ministry programme for ministries that genuinely cannot pay.
-
Will it not need constant work?
No. Service times, an address, what you believe and how to give do not change from month to month.
-
Is a website really what our church needs most?
Almost certainly not. Preaching, visiting and prayer matter more. This is worth doing when it stops people finding you — not before.
