ChurchDev review
A feature-rich church website platform with self-service and assisted setup options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ChurchDev is a hosted website platform designed for churches that need more than general page publishing. Its drag-and-drop builder supports responsive church website designs, while church-specific tools cover sermon publishing, event registration, online giving, prayer requests, custom forms, volunteer sign-ups, staff directories, and announcements through a mobile app. Churches can choose a self-service path, an assisted launch, or a custom website built from scratch.
Pricing is structured around a $29-per-month subscription for the main plans. Do It Yourself includes website design, free setup, professional hosting and SSL, unlimited pages and storage, sermons, events, online giving, and a mobile app. Done for You keeps the $29 monthly price and adds content migration plus setup support; its setup service is listed at $299 one time. Done Exclusively for You also costs $29 per month and adds a custom design, content migration, and full setup, with a $599 one-time setup service. The paid structure suits churches budgeting for a hosted platform, but it does not provide a free plan.
The platform’s breadth is its main distinction. In addition to publishing and content management, it combines calendars, registration, payments, prayer features, forms, staff information, hosting, SSL, backups, and statistics. Integrations with Stripe, Facebook, YouTube, and iTunes support common church publishing and payment workflows. The listed platform is web-based, while the mobile app extends access to sermons, events, and announcements. ChurchDev is a strong fit for congregations that want church-specific functionality and optional launch assistance; churches seeking a free builder or a narrower, web-only website tool should look elsewhere.
