Churches

Missouri church websites that welcome the first-time visitor.

A church website talks to two people at once: the member checking service times and the first-time visitor deciding whether to walk in Sunday. We build for both. Missouri congregations at the Lake of the Ozarks, in Jefferson City, Columbia, Springfield, and the Kansas City and St. Louis metros, with Planning Center, livestream, and sermon integrations that actually run. Since 2006. Fixed-fee pricing in writing. Call (573) 746-2417.

What first-time visitors want to know

Before a stranger walks in Sunday, they want five answers. When does the service start. Where do I park. What do I wear. What happens with my kids. How long does it last. That is it. Not the mission statement. Not the doctrine page. Those matter, but not at the moment a visitor is deciding whether to come.

We put a "Plan Your Visit" section right at the top of every church site we build, with photos of the building so visitors can find it, the kids area so parents can see it is safe and clean, and the service so a first-timer knows what to expect. Most first-time visitors evaluate a church the same way they pick a restaurant: they look at the website Saturday night.

Sermons, livestream, and the content that changes every week

Most church sites go stale because updating them is painful. A volunteer has to log in, post the sermon, fight a clunky editor, and give up. Then the homepage shows a sermon from August.

We wire your site up to the tools your church already uses. YouTube for sermons, auto-pulled. We even handle the case where YouTube killed its public RSS feed in late 2025 by scraping the channel page for you. Planning Center for events and small groups, auto-pulled through the Church Center API so the public site matches what your staff manages internally. Automatic livestream detection so when you go live on YouTube Sunday morning, a "watch live" button appears on the homepage on its own. When you are not live, it shows the most recent sermon. Nothing to update by hand.

Built for Missouri church volunteers to update

A volunteer with normal computer skills should be able to add an announcement, swap a photo, post a sermon, or update the kids calendar in a couple of minutes. Not a developer. Not a paid plugin. Just a person at the church who knows how to use a phone.

We have built sites for First Baptist Church of Camdenton, multiple congregations running on the same Tailwind theme we share across ministry clients, and the SaaS marketing site for ChurchInviter (a postcard and social invite tool used by churches across the country). Planning Center, Subsplash, Pushpay, Church Center, livestream, sermon archives. Familiar territory.

FAQ

Common questions

Can our volunteers update the site?

Yes. Every church site we build is set up so a volunteer with normal computer skills can add announcements, swap photos, post events, and manage pages without calling us. We walk your point person through it after launch.

Do you connect with Planning Center?

Yes. We built a custom plugin that pulls events and small groups from the Church Center API straight onto your public site, so what you manage in Planning Center shows up automatically. No double entry. Running in production on multiple churches.

What about livestream and sermons?

If you stream to YouTube, we wire up automatic detection. When you go live, a "watch live" button shows on the homepage on its own. When you're not live, it shows your most recent sermon. Sermons get pulled automatically too. Nothing to update by hand.

Do you only work with Lake-area churches, or farther out?

Both. We're based at the Lake of the Ozarks (Lake Ozark, MO) and have built sites for churches here and across the country. Local churches get in-person meetings if they want. Out-of-state churches get Zoom. The site quality is the same either way.

What does a church site cost?

Smaller churches with simpler sites land at the lower end. Bigger churches with full integrations (Planning Center, livestream, member portals, multiple campuses) are more involved. Tell us what you need and we'll send the price in writing within one business day.
