The honest version

Most small-church websites are three years out of date, and everybody knows it.

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.

What you get

Everything, in one place

Replaces the website builder, the giving platform, the church app, the texting service, and the check-in kiosk — with one login and one bill.

Edit it yourself

Click a section, change the words, hit publish. No page builder to learn, no HTML, no waiting on the one person who knows how.

A real app, no app store

Your congregation taps 'Add to Home Screen' and your church is on their phone — icon, notifications, offline. Nothing to submit, nothing to maintain.

Sermons in one paste

Drop in a YouTube link. We pull the thumbnail, build the page, add it to your library, and update your podcast feed.

Enter an event once

Wednesday youth group repeats on your calendar forever. Visitors subscribe in Apple or Google Calendar and never miss it.

Giving that actually converts

One-time or recurring, on any device, in under a minute. Donors can cover the processing fee — most do.

Reach every phone in seconds

Ice storm on Sunday morning? One announcement lands on every installed phone before anyone leaves the house.

Attendance without a clipboard

Put a code on the screen. People check in from their own phone. Kids get a printed pickup code. You get a chart.

One list of people

Connection cards, event signups, and giving all land on the same person record. Privacy controls each member sets themselves.

An AI greeter, 24/7

Answers 'what time is church?' and 'what about my kids?' at 11pm on a Saturday — from your real service times, never made up.

Works with what you have

Planning Center, YouTube, Stripe, Mailchimp, Google Analytics. Connect once and stop double-entering.

Twelve designed looks

Pick a theme, swap the colors and fonts to match your building and your people. Change your mind any Tuesday.

Found on Google

Fast pages, proper metadata, and church schema markup so you show up when someone searches 'churches near me'.

Looks

Pick a look in one click

Twelve complete themes — colors, typefaces, spacing, and button shapes, all designed to go together. Then change any of it to match your building and your people.

Sanctuary

Warm stone and deep evergreen. Historic without feeling dated.

Harbor

Deep navy and sea glass. Crisp, calm, trustworthy.

Vine

Earthy clay and olive. Great for church plants and rural congregations.

Ember

High-contrast charcoal with a warm spark. Modern, youth-forward.

Chapel

Ivory, ink, and a single royal accent. Quiet and confident.

Meadow

Fresh sage and cream. Bright, hopeful, family-friendly.

Cathedral

Aubergine, gold, and stone. Liturgical and unhurried.

Coastline

Sun-bleached blue and sand. Relaxed and welcoming.

Monolith

Near-black and bone with an electric accent. Bold and urban.

Hearth

Brick, butter, and warm wood. Feels like a potluck.

Midnight

Deep indigo dark mode with a cool glow. Striking on phones.

Linen

Soft neutrals and a dusty rose. Understated and modern.

Assembly

Massive type, hard edges, black and bone. Confident and completely unfussy.

Nocturne

Near-black with a warm ember glow. Made for churches that meet at night.

Vaulted

Deep aubergine, gold leaf, and a high serif. Liturgical without being dusty.

Riso

Two-colour print energy — electric blue and coral on paper white.

High Desert

Sunbaked clay, sage, and wide open space. Warm without being soft.

Signal

Stark white, heavy black type, one electric accent. Reads like a poster.

Alabaster

Bone white, deep ink, and a whisper of clay. Gallery-quiet and very expensive-looking.

Evergreen

Forest green and aged brass. Steady, rooted, generations-deep.

Tidewater

Washed teal and oyster shell. Airy, coastal, easy to be in.

Vesper

Ink-blue dusk with candlelight. A dark theme that still feels reverent.

Prairie

Wheat, denim, and open sky. Plainspoken and genuinely warm.

Quarry

Cut stone and a single amber seam. Architectural and unshowy.

Plus 30+ hand-picked Google Fonts — swap your headline typeface without touching a stylesheet.

Included with Enhanced

The AI does the part you dread

Nobody went into ministry to retype a bulletin into a calendar. Upload what you already made, and the website updates itself.

Review each one, then publish. Nothing goes live until you say so.

Enhanced

Bulletin importer

Drop in Sunday's bulletin and it becomes events, service times, and announcements — already formatted, waiting for your approval.

Enhanced

AI page builder

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.

Enhanced

Congregation chat

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.

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.

Questions people actually ask

We're a church of 60. Is this overkill?

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.

Who's going to maintain it?

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.

Can we keep our domain name?

Yes. Point your existing domain at Holdfast and it works on either plan — we'll walk you through the one DNS change.

What happens to our current website?

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.

How do people install the app?

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.

Is our giving data safe?

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.

What if we outgrow it or want to leave?

Export your people, giving history, and content any time. No lock-in, no cancellation call, no hostage negotiation.

Give the next family who looks you up
a reason to come.

Start free for 14 days. If it isn’t obviously better than what you have now, walk away — we won’t have your card.
