What it is

ChurchDev provides website design, hosting and management services for churches. Its CMS includes a drag-and-drop builder for people without coding skills, with plans listing unlimited pages, storage, bandwidth, sermons, blog posts and podcasts. Church features include calendars, event registration, prayer requests, volunteer signups, online giving and staff directories. The included mobile app lets members watch sermons, view events and receive messages. An optional member directory supports password-protected access, member self-service, guest logins and CSV import. Live streams can reach church websites and social media such as Facebook and YouTube, but streaming plans require an active ChurchDev website and allow 10 to 50 hours monthly. Stripe processes online giving at 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction, with no ChurchDev markup. Website plans start at $29 a month; some include one-time setup charges. Other listed prices include a 10.00 USD monthly membership directory, 19.00 USD annual domain registration and streaming plans from $39 a month.
