Church website checklist: what to put on your site

Most people visit a church website to answer one question: when and where? Start there, then add what helps a first-time visitor feel ready to walk in.

Updated October 7, 2026 · By Drew

First: service times and location

  • Service times on the homepage, above everything else
  • Your full address, with a map link
  • Where to park and which door to use
  • Holiday and special service times, updated before each season
  • A phone number or email that someone actually checks

What to expect as a visitor

  • How long a service runs
  • What people usually wear
  • What happens for kids, and where they go
  • Accessibility: ramps, elevators, seating and hearing support
  • A few photos of your building and your people, so it feels familiar on arrival

Watch, give and get involved

  • A livestream link, if you stream, easy to find from the homepage
  • Recent sermons, linked to your video or podcast
  • Upcoming events with dates, times and who to contact
  • A Give button that links to the giving platform you already use
  • Ministries and groups, each with a short description and a contact
  • Staff and leadership, with names and photos

Contact and next steps

  • A simple contact form
  • A way to send a prayer request
  • How to plan a visit or ask a question
  • Office hours, if you keep them
  • Links to your social pages

Keeping it updated when volunteers change

Church websites often go stale when the person who built them moves on. The login leaves with them, and nobody else knows how to change the service times.

  • Register the domain in the church's name, not a volunteer's
  • Write down who has access to what, and keep it with church records
  • Pick a setup where updates don't depend on one person's know-how
  • Check service times and events at the start of each season
  • With Skosh, there's no password to hand over. Sign in with an email and a one-time code, describe the change, and approve the preview.
  • Churches and registered nonprofits can ask about our pricing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Something else? Email hello@skoshsites.com.

What's the most important thing on a church website?

Service times and location. Put them on the homepage where nobody has to search for them.

Should we build giving into our website?

Link to the giving platform you already use. A clear Give button in the menu is enough, and your platform handles the payments.

Do we need to livestream to have a good website?

No. If you stream, link to it. If you don't, recent sermon audio or notes are a nice extra, but not required.

How do we keep our site from going out of date?

Keep accounts in the church's name, and choose a setup that doesn't depend on one volunteer. With Skosh you request changes and approve a preview, so there's no login to pass along.

How much does a church website cost with Skosh?

Plans are $0 down, from $69 a month, on a 12-month plan, then month to month. Churches and registered nonprofits can ask about our pricing.
