The Church Co

This organization helps congregational leaders build and maintain user-friendly websites and apps tailored for their congregation’s needs. The Church Co. specializes in creating websites that do not require a full-time web developer for upkeep, allowing congregations to focus on ministry rather than technical maintenance. If a complete redesign isn’ t needed, congregations can embed specific toolssuch as a Small Group platform, Event Management system, and Sermon Note-taker— into their existing websites.
