URL: https://cheapcheapwebsites.com/free-nonprofit-websites/churches/
Updated October 17, 2026. Offer: free website build (up to 5 pages, normally $399) for nonprofits and community groups; Website Care $30/month required.

## The short answer
Yes, a church can get a free website build from Cheap Cheap Websites. The build is the same up to 5 page site as our $399 Launch Website, with design, drafted wording, mobile layout and 10 revision rounds at no charge. The only cost is Website Care at $30 per month, which covers hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly checks and small edits. You do not need to be a registered nonprofit to qualify.

## Your free 5-page website
1. Plan a visit: Service times, address with a map, parking, what to wear, what happens with children, and a short note for first-timers.
2. Sermons and livestream: The latest message and the live service link near the top, plus an archive people can browse by series.
3. Ministries: Children, youth, small groups, music, outreach and care teams, each with a leader and a way to join.
4. Give: A clear Give button that opens the donation tool your church already uses, with a line about what giving supports.
5. Contact and about: Beliefs and history in plain words, pastor and staff, office hours, and a simple contact form.

## What a church website has to do in the first 10 seconds
Most people who open a church website are one of three people: a family new to the area, someone who lost a loved one and wants a place to grieve, or a member who forgot the time of Sunday service. All three want the same thing right away. When is the service, and where? Is there something for my kids? Can I watch online if I cannot come? Put those answers on the homepage, above the fold, on a phone. A beautiful history page does not matter if the visitor cannot find the time.

## What is free and what Website Care covers
The build is free. That means up to 5 pages, designed for you, wording drafted from a short consultation, a layout that works on phones, and 10 rounds of revisions. It is the same work we sell as the Launch Website for $399 one time. Website Care is $30 per month and it is required. It pays for hosting, the HTTPS padlock, backups, weekly checks, A/B testing and small edits such as a new Easter schedule. It is the only recurring cost, and recurring plans can be canceled anytime. Need more than 5 pages? We quote it before any work starts.

## How people find your church on Google and in AI assistants
People rarely type your church name. They type church near me with kids ministry , Sunday service times in [your town] or Spanish speaking church near me . Your site is built to answer those searches. Page titles and descriptions that name your town and denomination or style. Headings that match real questions, such as "What to expect on your first Sunday." Structured data so Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT can read your address, service times and events. An XML sitemap and fast mobile pages. Your address and hours written the same way everywhere. No one can promise a ranking, but a clear, consistent site gives search tools what they need. A monthly SEO add-on, from $50 per month, adds new pages if you ever want it. It is never required.

## Church-specific must-haves and pitfalls
Service times on the homepage. Do not hide them in a menu. Livestream link that works. Link to the video tool you already use. We add the button, we do not replace the tool. Children's safety. Do not post kids' full names or photos without a parent's consent. Describe the check-in process instead. Giving. One button, one clear destination. See our donation flow guide . Stale events. A calendar from two years ago tells visitors nobody is home. Small edits are part of Website Care. Related: if you run outreach programs, see ministries and faith-based nonprofits .

## Frequently asked questions
**Is the church website really free?** The build is free, up to 5 pages. The only cost is Website Care at $30 per month, which is required and covers hosting, HTTPS, backups and small edits. Both parts are true, so please plan for the monthly fee.

**Do we need to be a registered nonprofit?** No. Churches and other houses of worship qualify, and so do community groups that are not registered. A person reviews your form to confirm you are a church or community group and not a business.

**Can you add our online giving?** We add a Give button that links to the donation tool your church already uses. We do not process payments ourselves and we do not promise a specific payment tool.

**Can we stream services on the site?** We add a livestream button or link pointing to the video service you already use, and place it where visitors will see it first on Sunday morning.

**Can we cancel Website Care?** Yes. Recurring plans can be canceled anytime. Keep in mind that hosting and backups are part of Website Care, so your site needs another home if you cancel.
