Churches & ministries
Your church website decides whether a family visits on Sunday.
Give them a website that answers the question — service times up front, a warm plan-your-visit, sermons, events, ministries, and giving — and that gets found when someone searches for a church home, on Google and by AI assistants like ChatGPT. AI-built, live in days, built accessible so everyone can use it (see how we build it in →), and easy for your staff to keep current. You approve it before you pay.
Free forever, no credit card. Your own domain name is $15/mo when you want it.

Be found
Someone near you is searching for a church home tonight.
They're typing "churches near me" into Google — or asking ChatGPT for a welcoming church with a youth group. Most church websites are invisible to both. Every Mainfolk site ships with the plumbing that gets you into the answer: structured data (service times, denomination, location), semantic HTML, and a per-site llms.txt written for AI assistants. That's our engineering, on every page — the thing template builders can't retrofit.
On Google
Service times, location, and denomination marked up as structured data — so search engines can put you in the local results with the details a visitor needs.
In AI answers
A per-site llms.txt and clean semantics so ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI answers can quote your church when someone asks — a channel almost no church site is set up for.
Warm when they arrive
Getting found is half of it. A clear plan-your-visit, real photos, and service times up front turn a search into a family walking through the doors.
Built for how you gather
A church website builder your volunteers can actually run.
Warm, current, and simple enough that whoever runs the bulletin can run the website.
Service times & plan your visit
The first thing a visitor looks for, up front: when you gather, where to park, what to expect, and who to ask. No scavenger hunt.
Sermons & media
This week's message — audio, video, or notes — front and center, with a growing library people can come back to and share.
Events, groups & ministries
Youth group, small groups, VBS, outreach, and the calendar — laid out so members plug in and newcomers find their place.
Giving made obvious
A clear, prominent give page that links to the platform you already use — Tithe.ly, Pushpay, PayPal, or another. You keep your processor; we make giving easy to find.
Announcement banner
Cancel a service for weather, promote the Christmas Eve times, or point to the sign-up — a site-wide banner you post in seconds and take down just as fast.
Anyone on staff can update it
Click-to-edit, one-click publish, live worldwide in under a minute. No plugins to break, no developer to call, no "who has the login."
On Pro
See who your church is reaching.
The website is the front door — and on Pro, Mainfolk shows you who's walking up to it, in plain language, with no analytics account to set up.
Are new families finding you?
See how many people opened your service times, your plan-your-visit page, and your sermons this month — so you know the welcome is getting through before Sunday.
How they found you
A search for a church home, a shared invite, or a link from a friend — see what's bringing new folks to your site, so your outreach goes where it's working.
What your community needs
Your most-read pages and every message your forms bring in, in one place — so you can see what your neighbors are quietly looking for.
The easy part is us

Your team is pouring into people, not pixels. Send us a few photos and the basics about your church — we build the first draft, and nothing goes live until you've seen it and said amen.

The honest price
Free forever. Pay only when you want your own domain.
No per-module upsells, no locked-in content, no surprise renewal hikes. One fair price, and you can take your whole site with you anytime.
Launch — your own web address, no badge, sermons, events, giving, and more AI help.

Straight answers
The questions church staff actually ask.
How fast can we be live?
Days, not months. The AI builds a complete first draft from a short brief; our engineers make it fast, accessible, and found. You approve it before you pay.
Can we take online giving?
Yes — a clear give page that links to the platform you already use (Tithe.ly, Pushpay, PayPal, or another). You keep your processor; we make giving easy to find.
Will new families find us?
That's the point. Structured data, semantic HTML, and a per-site llms.txt mean you're built to show up on Google and in AI answers when someone searches for a church home.
Who updates it after launch?
Anyone on staff. Posting a sermon or updating service times is click-to-edit — no webmaster, no plugins, no HTML.
Are we locked in?
No. Month-to-month, cancel anytime, and export everything whenever you like. Your church owns its website.
Who's behind it?
Champlin Enterprises, an AI-native software company in Gurnee, Illinois. You deal with the engineers who built the platform.
How much does a church website cost?
Free to start and keep, on a Mainfolk web address. Your own domain and more AI help is $15 a month. Most churches never need more than that. A design agency would quote $2,000 to $5,000 for the same site.
What should a church website include?
Service times and location above everything else, a plan-your-visit page, sermons, events, ministries and groups, a clear way to give, and a way to contact a real person. Everything else is optional.
We are a small church. Is this overkill?
The opposite. Small churches are exactly who this is for: no budget for an agency, no volunteer who wants to learn WordPress, and the same need to be found on a Tuesday night.
A promise to the congregation
The front door of the church is open before Sunday.
Service times, events, and giving, kept current by any volunteer and welcoming to every visitor. That is the standard we ship.
Give your church a front door worth walking through.
Found by new families. Warm for the ones you have. Live in days, built accessible, and yours to keep. Start free — you approve it before you pay.
