THE PROBLEM
When a family moves to your town, can they find your church?
Most people looking for a church start where they look for everything else: Google. If your church doesn't show up, or shows up with a site from 2014, they visit somewhere else, and you never know they were looking.
Small churches know this. The problem isn't willingness. A professional website costs thousands of dollars and needs someone on staff who can keep it running.
The Small Church Website Initiative exists to close that gap.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Everything a church website needs. Built for you, at $0 build cost.
6. Built for phones.
Most visitors arrive on a phone; the site is designed for that first.
5. Found on Google.
Set up so people searching for a church in your area find you.
4. Security built in.
SSL protection so visitors see the padlock, never a warning screen.
3. Hosting and upkeep.
Fast, online 24/7, updates and technical maintenance handled.
2. Your own domain.
A web address that's yours, like yourchurch.org, registered and included.
1. Custom design and build.
Designed around your church: your story, your people, your service times.
A build like this normally costs $3,000 to $5,000. Multiply the Church covers it. Your church pays $0 to build and $47/month to host.
BUILT TO GROW WITH YOU
Your site arrives ready for the tools that help a congregation grow.
Every initiative site is built on the same platform Belfry uses for its full church partnerships. When you're ready, the same site can answer visitor questions with AI, text back missed calls, follow up with first-time guests automatically, request Google reviews, and give your team one inbox for every call, text and email. None of that is required, and none of it is part of the $47 hosting. It's there when you want it.
WHO IT'S FOR
Small churches. Here's what we mean by that.
HOW IT WORKS
Four steps, and none of them start with a rebrand.
01
Tell us about your church.
Eight short questions, four of them Yes or No. About three minutes.
02
See your plan.
If the initiative fits, you'll see exactly what the sponsored build includes and reserve it by starting the $47/month hosting plan.
03
Kickoff.
A 10-minute questionnaire gathers your logo, service times, story and photos.
04
Launch.
Belfry designs, builds and launches your site, usually within a few weeks, and keeps it online.

WHY BELFRY
Built by a pastor who got tired of watching small churches be invisible.
I pastor a church campus in Norfolk, Virginia, and I've spent years in the meetings where a good church decides it can't afford a website this year. Belfry exists so that meeting stops happening. Multiply the Church sponsors the part that used to be out of reach. We build it, we keep it running, and you get back to the people in front of you.

THE HONEST PART
So what's the catch?
Fair question. Websites cost money to keep online: hosting, the domain, security and upkeep. Multiply the Church sponsors 100% of the design and build. Your church covers the hosting at $47/month, and that is the only cost for the core site. No setup fee, no surprise invoices, month to month, cancel anytime. If you cancel, you keep your domain. We do it this way because when your church grows, we grow with you, and because the tools that grow a congregation are worth more to a church that already has a site people can find.
QUESTIONS
Questions pastors ask.
What does $0 build cost mean?
Design, build and launch cost your church nothing; Multiply the Church sponsors it. The only cost is $47/month hosting, which the church pays.
Who is Multiply the Church?
A church-multiplication ministry that sponsors the Small Church Website Initiative so small churches can be found online. Belfry is the builder for every site.
What does $47/month cover?
Hosting, your domain, SSL security, technical maintenance and keeping your site healthy on Google.
Does every church fit the initiative?
No. It's for churches under 100 adults with budgets under $250,000 that are ready to welcome new guests and can cover hosting. If that isn't you, the quiz shows you Belfry's full partnership instead.
Do we need someone technical on staff?
No. If you can answer a questionnaire about your church, you can do this.
How long until our site is live?
Most churches launch within a few weeks of completing the kickoff questionnaire.
Are we locked into a contract?
No. Hosting is month to month. Cancel anytime and keep your domain.
What about texting, AI chat and the other tools?
Your site is built ready for them. They're optional add-ons, priced separately, and never required.
