What Church Plant Media Includes in Its Website Setup Service

Updated

Church Plant Media’s initial website setup covers the core build for a church site at no extra cost: a homepage, up to 15 subpages, one leadership/staff page, navigation, branding (colors, styles, and logo), and import of up to 30 sermons. After that setup, the church can add any remaining content before launch. This answer applies to churches considering Church Plant Media’s website product and wanting to know what is handled for them versus what they add themselves.

What the setup service includes

According to Church Plant Media’s FAQ, the initial setup includes:

  • Building the homepage
  • Creating up to 15 subpages
  • Creating one leadership/staff page
  • Importing up to 30 sermons, including media files, notes, and scripture references
  • Setting up navigation
  • Applying branding, including colors and styles
  • Adding the logo

The company states that this initial setup is done at no extra cost.

What happens after setup

Once the initial build is complete, the church is free to add any additional content before launch. That means the setup service is a starting framework, not a finished site with unlimited pages or sermon imports.

Limits to plan around

The published setup scope has clear caps:

Item Included in initial setup
Homepage Yes
Subpages Up to 15
Leadership/staff page 1
Sermon import Up to 30
Navigation Yes
Branding (colors, styles, logo) Yes

If a church has hundreds of sermons, Church Plant Media says it will import up to 30 at no charge and provide a quote for additional imports. Churches with larger sermon archives should ask for that quote before assuming the full library will be moved as part of setup.

Related website features mentioned

The setup service sits within a broader website product. Church Plant Media describes flexible layouts through a tool called Herald, automatic sermon or podcast publishing to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other platforms, and support for additional podcasts such as Bible studies or individual ministries. These are product capabilities; the setup FAQ specifically addresses the initial build items listed above.

What to confirm before signing up

  • Whether your page count fits within the 15-subpage limit or will require extra work
  • How many sermons you need imported and what the additional-import quote would be
  • Whether you want additional podcasts configured
  • What content you will add yourself after the initial setup and before launch

Church Plant Media also promotes a free 14-day trial, which can be a practical way to review the website tools before committing to a build.
