When your church website depends on one busy person, updates grind to a halt.
In most churches, website updates follow a frustrating pattern: a pastor needs to change Sunday service times, an administrator needs to post a baptism announcement, or a children's ministry leader needs to update check-in safety guidelines. But because the website was built on custom code or an intricate WordPress theme, only one volunteer holds the passwords. When that volunteer gets busy with work, goes on vacation, or moves to another city, simple 30-second updates sit in an email inbox for three weeks. Your church's digital front door becomes outdated, confusing first-time guests and frustrating your staff.
"We shouldn't have to submit a support ticket or wait three weeks just to fix our Easter service times."
⚠️ Common Weekly Friction
- • Only one person has the technical skills or login credentials to edit the site.
- • Routine text and photo updates require complex backend navigation.
- • Event dates, sermon archives, and staff directories slowly become inaccurate.
- • Volunteers fear editing pages because one wrong click could break the layout.
What happens when a church website falls behind.
A broken website workflow isn't just an inconvenience—it impacts your ministry, pastoral time, and first-time visitor turnout every Sunday.
Lost First-Time Visitors
When prospective families find conflicting service times or missing parking instructions, they choose not to visit this Sunday.
Volunteer & Staff Burnout
Pastors and administrators waste hours drafting emails, troubleshooting plugins, and waiting on external webmasters.
Poor Mobile Experience

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Church Sites Live differ from generic builders like Wix or Squarespace?
Generic website builders lack church-specific workflows like sermon audio podcast feeds, campus location pickers, kids check-in security guides, and visitor anxiety relief timelines. Church Sites Live includes all of these out of the box with zero custom development needed.
Can non-technical volunteers update sermons and photos?
Yes. Our in-browser Website Studio at /admin allows anyone who knows how to write an email to swap photos directly from their computer, upload MP3 sermons, and post announcements without touching HTML or CSS.
Do we have to change our online giving or ChMS platform?
No. You keep your existing giving provider (Tithe.ly, Planning Center Giving, Pushpay, Subsplash, Stripe, Givelify) and embed your giving form directly onto your Church Sites Live giving page.
Is there a contract or setup fee?
No. Church Sites Live offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required to start ($0 due today). Afterwards, pricing is a flat $19/month with no setup fees and one-click cancellation in your dashboard.
Can we use our existing custom domain name?
Yes. You can connect your existing domain (such as yourchurch.org) with one click. We provide automated global SSL encryption and edge DNS routing with zero extra fees.
