In their own words
ChurchLume
ChurchLume is a web platform for building a church website and managing online ministry activity. Website Studio lets teams visually edit pages, sections, images, and content before publishing. The ministry hub combines giving, events, forms, prayer, live streaming, and people management. Churches can create branded watch and attend-online pages, collect registrations and prayer requests, and use workflows, reminders, and structured journeys for follow-up. Giving supports Zelle, Stripe, and provider-based options. Launch tools include domain setup, checklists, templates, and readiness cues. Starter costs $29 per month and includes a ChurchLume subdomain, website and studio, events and forms, prayer requests, and basic people management. Growth costs $59 per month and adds a custom domain, email notifications, unlimited people and teams, and analytics. Pro costs $99 per month and adds SMS notifications, advanced automations, multi-campus support, and priority support. A 14-day trial requires no credit card and can be cancelled at any time.
