What's included
Everything, out of the box
Every plan ships with the core tools your church needs to stay connected — no add-ons required.
Why churches switch
Built for how churches work
No dev team, no agency retainer. Your staff manages announcements, events, sermons, and your external giving link from one dashboard — and it shows up on a site that looks and feels like it was built in-house.

How it works
From zero to launched
Three steps. Your brand stays front and center the whole way — on the dashboard and on your public site.
02
Add your content
Post announcements, events, sermons, and your external giving link from one dashboard — no code, no agency back-and-forth.
03
Go live on the web
We provision your church website so visitors find service times, plan a visit, and explore your content under your brand.
Native integration
Import campuses from Planning Center
Connect a Planning Center Personal Access Token to pull campuses and weekly service times into Church Stack — then keep syncing from Integrations when you are ready. Full PCO surface sync (groups, events, check-ins) is not required for launch.

Why not Wix or WordPress
A custom Next.js site is built to be found
Template builders are fine for a brochure. Churches need to show up when someone searches “church near me,” “Sunday service times,” or your campus name. Church Stack sites are custom Next.js applications — engineered for search engines first, not bolted onto a generic page builder after the fact.
SEO advantage
Search is how new families find you
Google rewards sites that load fast, answer clearly, and expose structured content. Wix and WordPress themes optimize for editing convenience. Custom Next.js optimizes for being ranked — and staying ranked as you publish.
Indexable · Fast · Owned
Crawlable HTML from the first request
Next.js renders real pages on the server — titles, headings, sermon copy, event details, and location info are in the HTML Googlebot downloads. Wix and WordPress page builders often lean on heavy client scripts; search engines have to wait, guess, or miss content that only appears after JavaScript runs.
You own every ranking signal
Meta titles, descriptions, Open Graph tags, canonical URLs, XML sitemaps, robots rules, and structured data (JSON-LD for Organization, Event, Place, and FAQ) are first-class — not buried behind a theme plugin or a template that shares markup with thousands of other churches.
Speed is an SEO feature
Core Web Vitals — Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift — are ranking factors. A custom Next.js site ships only the code your church needs: image optimization, route-level code splitting, and edge caching. Template sites drag along unused widgets, third-party trackers, and theme bloat that quietly tank scores.
Wix & WordPress
- 1) Shared themes and plugins that look — and rank — like everyone else
- 2) Bloated scripts that hurt Core Web Vitals and mobile rankings
- 3) Limited or opaque control over crawl rules, schema, and canonicals
- 4) SEO equity tied to a platform stack you don’t fully own
Custom Next.js
- 1) Server-rendered pages search engines can index on contact
- 2) Full control of metadata, sitemaps, redirects, and structured data
- 3) Lean bundles tuned for Core Web Vitals and local search
- 4) Your domain, your code, your rankings — year after year
Take Your Church with you everywhere
Stream services, stay connected with your community, give online, and access exclusive content — all from the palm of your hand.
