Key Takeaway

Rehosting a church website isn't switching hosts. It's handing the whole thing to a team. The site gets built, launched, and updated by us. Plain-English messages instead of a CMS. Custom design instead of a template. $250/mo flat. The app comes with it.

What does it mean to rehost a church website?

If you Google 'rehost,' AWS will tell you it means lift-and-shift. Move the same broken thing to a new server. That's not what we mean.

For a church, to rehost is to hand the whole thing to a team. The website. The app. The giving flow. The sermon archive. We build it, launch it, and keep it running. You don't learn a CMS. You send a message. We ship.

Why most church websites need a rehost

Most churches are on one of three setups. All three break the same way.

  • Wix or Squarespace template. Looks fine on launch day. By month three, it looks like every other church site because the template is everyone's template.
  • WordPress site a volunteer built five years ago. The volunteer left. Nobody knows the login. Plugins are out of date. Every change is a negotiation.
  • Subsplash, Faithlife, or a big church platform. The roadmap isn't built for your ministry. You wait in line behind thousands of other churches for features you need this Sunday.

One common thread: nobody on your team has time to run the site, and nobody outside your team will respond fast enough when you need something changed.

What a rehosted church website looks like

  1. The site is custom. No template. Your denomination, your service times, your small groups, your giving flow. Designed around how your ministry actually works.
  2. Updates happen by message. Send us 'Add a Christmas Eve service, 7pm, December 24.' It ships that day. No dashboard. No CMS training. No 'let me ask our web person.'
  3. Your content and accounts are yours. Domain, sermon archive, member data, App Store and Google Play accounts. Cancel, and we hand it all back.
  4. The app comes with it. On the Faith plan at $250/mo, the site and the mobile app are the same subscription. One bill, one team, one roadmap.

How fast can a church website be rehosted?

Most go live in under a week. The bottleneck is usually your ministry deciding what goes on the homepage, not the engineering. We've rehosted sites for evangelical churches, Catholic parishes, and multi-campus ministries in 5 to 7 days.

What does it cost?

$250/mo flat. That's the website, the app, sermon streaming, one-tap giving, push notifications, and a team that builds and updates all of it. No setup fee. No hourly rate. No 'implementation engagement.' Month to month, cancel anytime.
