●A product of 1Prov Technology
Holdfast is made by 1Prov Technology. For more than two decades, our team has built websites and applications for churches, Christian schools, and worldwide ministries — long enough to know exactly where these projects go wrong.
Different rooms, same problem: the technology outgrows the people left to maintain it.
From congregations of forty to multi-site ministries — websites, apps, giving, streaming, and the unglamorous plumbing that keeps a Sunday running.
Christian schools and academies, where the website is an admissions officer, a parent portal, and a community bulletin board all at once.
Organizations working across borders, languages, and unreliable connections — where a site has to load on a phone in a place you have never been.
We kept watching the same story. A church raises the money for a beautiful custom site. It launches. For about eight months it is wonderful. Then the volunteer who built it moves away, the plugin that ran the sermon page stops updating, and the events calendar quietly freezes on a Christmas that already happened.
Nobody did anything wrong. The site was simply built to be maintained by someone who was never going to be there forever — and small churches do not have a second one of those.
So we built the opposite: a site and an app that stay current because the church already keeps them current in the course of normal work. Post the sermon, the site updates. Add the event, the app notifies. No volunteer required, and nothing to babysit.
01
They are the office administrator, the pastor’s spouse, a volunteer with an hour on Tuesday. Every decision in Holdfast starts there. If it needs a manual, it is not finished.
02
Gifts are charged directly on your own Stripe account. They never touch ours. We take no percentage of your giving — not as a promise, but as a fact about how the money moves.
03
Your content, your domain, your data. Export it whenever you like. Churches have been burned by platforms that hold their site hostage; we would rather earn the next month.
04
A congregation of sixty should not have to look like it settled. The same care that goes into a megachurch rebrand goes into the free trial.

1Prov builds technology for organizations doing work that matters — with the security, accessibility, and operational discipline that institutions require, and the patience that volunteer-run offices deserve. Holdfast is what happens when twenty years of that experience is aimed squarely at the small local church.
