A church website that stays up to date without becoming a burden
A content management system built from scratch for churches — not adapted from something else.
Most church websites are out of date before they're even finished
Churches invest time and money in a website, then find it too complicated to update. Events stay from last year. Nobody knows the login. The congregation stops checking it.
Generic website platforms aren't designed for how churches work. They don't understand benefices, multiple churches under one clergy, service rotas, or the rhythm of parish life.
The result is a website that creates more anxiety than it solves — another task on the churchwarden's list that never quite gets done.
- Platforms too complicated for non-technical volunteers
- Login credentials lost when administrators change
- No built-in support for multi-parish benefices
- Congregation can't find service times or contact details
- Generic designs that don't reflect a church's character
- Annual renewal costs that aren't clearly explained
If you can use email, you can manage this
The Churchnet CMS was built by a minister who understood the problem from the inside. It handles the things that matter to parishes — multi-church benefices, service rotas, email updates, people and roles — without the complexity you don't need.
There's no learning curve that requires a technical volunteer. Anyone who can write and send an email can add a news item, update an event, or change a contact's phone number.
"If you can use email, you can manage the content on your site with this system. Tested by technophobes!"
The site looks professional from day one. You don't need a designer. You don't need a developer. You just need content — and we'll help you get that sorted too.

Everything a parish needs. Nothing you don't.

Create as many email addresses and forwarding rules as you need. No extra cost per address.
Automatic email updates
Subscribers get emailed when you post something new. Events trigger reminders automatically.
Service rotas & bookings
Populate service rotas with templates. Set up booking systems for prayer rooms, events, and facilities.
Secure admin login
Multiple administrator levels. Give access to the whole site, or just specific churches or groups.
Mobile-friendly by default
Looks equally good on a phone, tablet, or desktop. No separate mobile site needed.
99.9% uptime, actively developed
Reliable hosting with ongoing development. Support always available by phone or email.
A good church website keeps your whole congregation connected — and takes the phone calls away.
See it in practice
These are real churches using Churchnet — browse them to get a feel for what's possible.
I have rarely seen anything like it for a church! It is so relevant and up to date with what is happening in the worshipping community. It is fabulous to be able to see so clearly what goes on during the week and on Sundays — who is who, who to get in touch with, everything. There is no need to ask a question. It really is appreciated when a website works this well.
