The honest version
Not because nobody cares — because the person who built it moved away, the login is in someone’s old email, and the service times are wrong on a page nobody can find how to edit. Meanwhile a family new to town looks you up on a Saturday night and can’t tell whether you still meet.
That’s a fixable problem, and it shouldn’t cost $300 a month.
Eight ways, included with Enhanced
Nobody went into ministry to retype a bulletin into a calendar. Upload what you already made, and the website updates itself.

“…and he was still a long way off. That is the detail I keep coming back to. Still a long way off, and the father is already running…”
Or paste a transcript. If your service is on YouTube you already have one.
Holdfast drafts
Sermon notes
The son rehearses a speech about being a hired hand. He never finishes it — the father interrupts with a robe, a ring and a fattened calf. Three movements: the leaving, the rehearsing, the running.
Small-group questions
Why do you think the father runs? What would it have cost him, in that culture, to do it? Where are you still rehearsing a speech God is not waiting to hear?
Blog post
I have read this parable for twenty years and only recently noticed that the father never lets the boy finish. Every year I have preached the leaving. This year I want to talk about the running…
For social
The son had a speech ready about being a hired hand. He never got to give it.
Drafted only from what you actually said — never invented, never published without you.
Ask your own records
When did we last hold a baptism?
Your last baptism was Baptism Sunday on 14 June 2026, in the Sanctuary. There is a milestone recorded against it on the same date.
How many people came on the 1998 mission trip?
I could not find anything about a 1998 mission trip in your records. To answer that next time, the trip would need to be recorded with its dates and the number who went.
It will not guess. That is the whole point.
What it read
Your sermons, events, groups and people — nothing from the internet, and giving is never broken down by person. Volunteers get a smaller view than administrators.
You type
▶ “A missions page with our three partner families, a short paragraph about each, and a giving link at the bottom.”
Plain English. No page builder to learn.

In your theme, with your fonts. Edit any part of it.
Drop in Sunday's bulletin and it becomes events, service times, and announcements — already formatted, waiting for your approval.
Upload Sunday's audio. Get a transcript, sermon notes, small-group questions, a blog post, and lines for social — drafted only from what was actually said.
“When did we last hold a baptism?” “What have I preached on money?” Answered from your own sermons, events and people — never from the internet, and never invented.
Record a minute walking to the car. It comes back as an announcement, an email, and a post — three drafts of the thought you were going to type three times anyway.
Reads your site the way somebody who has never been would, and names the questions it leaves unanswered — where to park, what to wear, what happens to your children.
Describe the page you want — “a missions page with our three partners and a giving link” — and it builds it in your theme, ready to edit.
A chat assistant on your site that answers from your actual pages. Service times, nursery age ranges, where to park — without another email to the office.
No photographer? Describe the room and get an image made for your church — buildings, light and landscapes only. We will not invent faces and pass them off as your congregation.
AI drafts; you publish. Holdfast never posts to your site on its own, and your congregation’s data is never used to train anyone’s model.
What you get
Replaces the website builder, the giving platform, the church app, the texting service, and the check-in kiosk — with one login and one bill.
Click a section, change the words, hit publish. No page builder to learn, no HTML, no waiting on the one person who knows how.
Your congregation taps 'Add to Home Screen' and your church is on their phone — icon, notifications, offline. Nothing to submit, nothing to maintain.
Plan Sunday's running order once — songs, readings, who is doing what. Bring last week over and change what changed. It prints as your bulletin, emails to the team, and opens on a tablet at the desk with a clock that tells you how far over you are running.
Ask your sound desk, your greeters, your readers — one tap each, from the email, with nothing to sign in to. Yes and no both come straight back to the rota, and whoever said yes is printed on Sunday's bulletin.
One-time or recurring, on any device, in under a minute. Donors can cover the processing fee — most do.
And the rest of it
Getting started
Name, town, service times. Two minutes.
24 themes, all designed by someone who cares. Your site is live with real pages already written.
Swap the photos, adjust the words, invite your team. Most churches are done by dinner.
The honest maths
Most churches under 250 are paying separately for some combination of these. Add up what you pay now, then compare it to $19 or $49 a month.
Gifts go from the giver straight into your church’s own Stripe account. We never hold your money, and we add nothing on top of Stripe’s fee — givers can choose to cover that themselves, and most do.
Pricing
Two plans. No setup fee, no per-member pricing, and we never take a cut of your offering.
A beautiful website and app, live this week.

Everything. Giving, messaging, check-in, and every AI feature.

Every one of these is optional. The plans above are the whole platform.
$299one-time
Send us your current website and we build the new one with you — pages moved across, photos placed, service times right, staff added. You approve it before it goes live.
Free for any church that can't afford it. Just ask — no forms, no means test.
$29per month
Email us the changes and we make them, usually the same day. Sermons posted, events added, bulletins imported, photos swapped. For churches with nobody free on a Tuesday.
$125one-time, then $10/mo
Your church listed in the Apple App Store and Google Play under your own name and icon — searchable, installable, with push notifications. We build it, submit it, and handle every store review.
The $10 barely covers the Apple and Google developer accounts — Apple alone is $99 a year. We are not making money on this.
Card processing fees on donations are charged by Stripe and never marked up by us.
Cancel any time — you keep your content and your domain.
No — that's exactly who we built it for. The Base plan is $19 a month and gets you a site that looks like a church five times your size. You can add giving and messaging later if you ever need them.
Nobody, really. There's no software to update, no plugins to break, no hosting bill. Editing a page is closer to editing a Google Doc than running a website.
Yes. Point your existing domain at Holdfast and it works on either plan — we'll walk you through the one DNS change.
Leave it up until you're ready to switch. If you'd like your existing content moved across, email us and we'll quote it — it's usually a flat fee.
They visit your website on their phone and tap 'Add to Home Screen'. That's it. No App Store review, no $99 developer account, no separate thing for you to keep updated.
Card details never touch our servers — Stripe handles payment directly. Giving records are visible only to the admins you choose, and never appear in the member directory.
Export your people, giving history, and content any time. No lock-in, no cancellation call, no hostage negotiation.
Talk to us
Most pastors have one question before they’re willing to try something: will this actually work for a church our size? Ask it. There’s no sales sequence waiting on the other side.
Start free for 14 days. If it isn’t obviously better than what you have now, walk away — we won’t have your card.
