Can Church Plant Media Migrate My Existing Sermons and Podcasts?
Updated
Yes. Church Plant Media imports up to 30 sermons free as part of its website setup, including media files, notes, and scripture references. If you have more than 30, the company will quote a price for the additional migration. You can also host multiple podcasts—sermons, Bible studies, or ministry-specific shows—on the same site.
What the free migration covers
The setup service is included at no extra cost and bundles sermon migration with the rest of the launch work. According to Church Plant Media, the free setup includes:
- Building your homepage
- Creating up to 15 subpages
- Creating one leadership/staff page
- Importing up to 30 sermons (media files, notes, scripture references, etc.)
- Setting up your navigation
- Applying your branding (colors, styles)
- Adding your logo
After setup, you add any remaining content yourself before launch.
If you have more than 30 sermons
The 30-sermon limit is a threshold, not a cap on what can be migrated. Church Plant Media states that if you need more than 30 sermons imported, you should contact them for a quote. The source does not publish pricing for additional imports, so treat the cost as something to confirm directly before you commit.
Decision guide
| Your situation | What to expect |
|---|---|
| 30 or fewer sermons | Covered by the free setup import |
| More than 30 sermons | Free import of 30; request a quote for the rest |
| Multiple show types (sermons, Bible studies, ministries) | Supported—the site can host additional podcasts |
| Large archive with tight timeline | Ask about the quote and schedule early, since volume affects both |
How sermon distribution works after migration
Once sermons are in the system, Church Plant Media automatically publishes them—or other podcasts—to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other platforms. That means your migrated archive can keep reaching listeners on the podcast apps they already use, without manual re-uploading per platform.
Practical steps before you request migration
- Count your archive. Tally sermons and any separate podcast series so you know whether you are inside the free 30 or need a quote.
- Gather source files and metadata. Collect media files, notes, and scripture references for each sermon; the import covers these items.
- List your podcasts. Identify each show you want hosted (sermons, Bible studies, ministry-specific) so they are set up during the build.
- Confirm the overage quote. If you exceed 30, get the additional-import price in writing before launch planning.
- Verify after import. Check that episodes, notes, and references landed correctly, and test that distribution to Apple Podcasts and Spotify is working.
The main sticking point is the 30-sermon line: a small archive needs no extra budget, while a large one requires a quote and should be raised early so it doesn't delay your launch.
