Every site, every week
Your site knows it is Sunday.
It counts down to your next service in each visitor's own time, shows "Live now" while you stream, puts your newest message at the top by itself, and gives people a private way to say they have decided to follow Jesus.

Our mission
When someone looks for a church this week, they should find yours, know when to come, and feel expected before they arrive.
Most churches do not have a web team. They have a pastor, a few volunteers, and a site that still shows last Easter's times. ChurchNow gives every church a website that keeps itself current, says the welcoming things clearly, and takes minutes, not months, to set up.
11 designs, one church: yours
Each is shown with a fictional sample church. Open one to see it on a phone, tablet, or laptop. When you sign up, you see your own church in all of them.
Open DoorsThe church's front doors swing open onto warm light, with the next service and a live countdown waiting inside.
LumenA tall stained-glass window, made from the church's own name and colours, lights up pane by pane beside the order of services.
Week LineThe church's whole week on one screen, every service and gathering at its hour, with a live line that glides to right now.
Start HereOpens on what is happening this week, starting today, then helps people find their place and take one clear next step.
Series WallLeads with the latest message, cinema style, then shelves every sermon by series like a streaming app.
This SundayA folded Sunday bulletin opens on load: this Sunday's message and notes, and what every Sunday is like when there is nothing new.
CampusesFor churches in more than one place: pick a location to see its address and times, each with its own live countdown, remembered next visit.
NeighbourStarts with the question people actually bring: how can we help? Plain-word answers like free groceries or someone to talk to, each with one next step.
Wide OpenThe church's name opens like a pair of doors as you scroll, and its Sunday video grows from a small window to fill the screen.
On AirA broadcast screen for a church whose biggest room is online: live status, a studio clock, and the message of the week playing right at the top.
Family AlbumA living wall of the church's own photos that turns over one picture at a time, with the welcome in the middle and its groups on a slow ribbon below.
What every site does for you
- Service times that know what day it is
- "Next service: Sunday at 10, in 2 days", worked out in your time zone, and "We are live" while you stream.
- A first visit, explained
- Where to park, what happens with the kids, what people wear. The questions newcomers are too shy to ask.
- Message of the week, by itself
- Connect your YouTube channel once. Your newest message and the ones before it show up on their own, every week.
- "I said yes to Jesus"
- A private way for someone to tell your pastor they decided to follow Jesus, then your next steps. Your words, never ours.
- Your logo and your video
- Send a logo and a 20-second phone video of worship. We trim it, shrink it, and make it the top of your site.
- Events that tidy themselves up
- Add a date once. It shows on the day and disappears when it is over.
- Private prayer requests
- A form that goes straight to your pastor or prayer team. Never shown on the site.
- Giving, through your own provider
- A clear Give button that points to the service you already use. We never handle money.
- Time zones, handled
- For churches that pray together across countries, every time shows in each visitor's own clock.
- Made for phones, open to everyone
- Fast on any phone, readable for older eyes, and usable with a screen reader or keyboard.
Made just for them
Already live: CHRiST-centered Community
A community that prays together every weekday on Zoom, from Canada, the USA, the UK, Nigeria and Australia. Their site shows every gathering in each visitor's own time, daily confessions, private prayer requests, and a map of where they join from.

Questions
Do we need any technical skills?
No. You answer questions about your church; we build the site. Later changes are a message in plain words.
Can we use our own domain?
Yes. Bring the one you have, or start on yourchurch.churchnow.ca and move later. The domain stays in your name.
Who writes our beliefs and our story?
You do. We use your words as you give them, and never write your statement of faith for you.
Do you take donations for us?
No. Your Give button links to your own giving provider, so the money never passes through us.
We meet online, or in a home. Is that fine?
Yes. Sites work without a street address, and can show times across time zones.
Ready when your church is.
Have your service times, a few photos, and your logo handy. You will see your church in every design the same day.
