Church123 review
A broad church-focused website package with strong publishing and integration coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Church123 is a browser-based website builder and hosting service for churches and Christian organisations. It is suited to congregations that need a complete public website with an online page editor, more than 200 templates, domain management, contact forms, member-only pages, media galleries, sermon publishing, calendars, and donation links. Its feature set also supports embedded video, surveys, and podcast publishing, giving churches room to manage both informational and ongoing ministry content from one service.
The published plans show one Webbuilder offering with the same feature set at two billing intervals: $75 per quarter or $295 per year. Both include hosting, unlimited pages, unlimited updates, 4 GB of file and image storage, website builder features, and helpdesk support. Church123 also provides a 30-day free trial, while the service itself is paid rather than free. The annual option may suit churches that prefer yearly billing, while quarterly billing provides a shorter commitment. Pricing varies by region, so churches should review the applicable local pricing before choosing a billing term.
Church123’s main strength is breadth within the church website category. It connects with Google Calendar, YouTube, Flickr, Google Maps, Bing Maps, Streetmap, MapQuest, Blogger, WordPress, RSS feeds, and several donation services, including PayPal, Click and Buy, Just Giving, Charity Choice, and First Giving. Phone and email support are also available. Churches wanting templates, sermons, events, donations, and integrations in one web-based service should find the scope appealing. Organisations needing a free plan, more than 4 GB of storage, or a platform beyond the web should consider alternatives that match those requirements.
