What ChurchLume is
ChurchLume is a web platform for building a church website and coordinating ministry activity online. Its Website Studio lets teams visually edit pages, sections, images, and other content before publishing. The platform brings giving, events, forms, prayer, live streaming, and people management into one hub. Teams can collect registrations, prayer requests, stories, and event details, while workflows and reminders support follow-up from a first visit toward a next step.

ChurchLume also provides domain setup, launch checklists, templates, and readiness cues. Starter costs $29/month and includes a ChurchLume subdomain; Growth costs $59/month and includes a custom domain, email notifications, unlimited people and teams, and analytics and reports.
