What Churchly is
Churchly combines church website creation with online communication tools for churches and ministries. Its team builds a site around a selected design and the church’s existing words and images, or helps create copy when needed; it says builds take three weeks or less. The platform includes a page builder, search tools, contacts, appointments, popups, a blog, analytics, and an online store. Communication features cover newsletters, segmented mass emails, and automated follow-ups triggered by actions such as form submissions. An AI writing assistant can generate text or revise copy by improving, shortening, or expanding it. Named integrations include Stripe, Mailchimp, Planning Center giving, and SubSplash’s sermon series player. Every account includes free SSL for the website and submitted forms. A fully functional 14-day trial requires no credit card.
