Earlier this year, OurChurch.Com launched our new church website builder, WP-EZ (it’s WordPress made easy). When we were discussing transitioning to the new web builder, one focal point was the must-have functionality in a church website builder. We looked closely at the functionality that we offered to our Custom Web Design clients. We also considered feedback from our current hosting clients. Lastly, we evaluated what the trends were in church websites.
After all of this, we came up with a list of the 5 features and functionality that churches must have in a website:
- Calendar
- Audio and Video
- Photo Gallery
- Contact Form
- Prayer Requests
I am proud to say that all of these features are included in every one of our Bronze, Silver, and Gold hosting packages. So if you are searching for the best church website builder, make sure that they include all six of these features. Even better, save yourself time and just start building your church website now!
What other functionalities do you think are important in a church website? Please post your comments below.

Spot on! all the 5 point are necessary for a church website. Calendar necessary for mention every event. Contact us and request prayer are second crucial point. I am learning web developer and i note your instructions. thanks Mark!
Thanks for your feedback T!
Is there a way to add CAPTCHA to the Prayer Request page? We get a lot of spam.
Hi Terry, not exactly captcha but you can add a “turing question.” Take a look at this video tutorial on How to Combat Prayer Spam
