Church Websites for the Person Deciding Whether to Walk In
Your members already know the service times. The website is for the family that just moved to town and is nervous about visiting.
$2,500 for a typical 5–8 page site with the copywriting included, usually live in 2–4 weeks. Structured data included so AI assistants can actually read your site.
The website's real job is answering a newcomer's quiet questions.
What time is the service. How long does it run. What do people wear. Is there anything for my kids. Will someone make a fuss over me if I slip in the back.
Almost nobody asks those out loud, and almost no church website answers them. Instead the homepage leads with a mission statement and a newsletter archive — useful to people already inside, invisible to the person sitting in a parked car deciding whether to come in.
Built around how your customers actually decide.
Service times, unmissable
Front and centre on every page, marked up so Google and AI assistants can answer 'what time is the service' directly.
Written for a first-time visitor
What to expect, what people wear, where to park, what happens with kids — the questions nobody asks out loud.
Events people can actually find
Structured event data so your calendar shows up in search rather than living in a PDF bulletin.
Updatable without a volunteer web team
Service changes, special events, and cancellations updated by email — no login, no training.
Mapes Baptist Church
A real site, live and in service for a working business in Vanderhoof, BC — not a mockup. Click through it: the menus work, the pages are real, and it is doing the job every day. Yours gets built the same way, around your business, your photos, and your services.
What owners ask before they order.
How much does a church website cost?
Church and community organization websites from Gentoolink Web Services start at $2,500 for a typical 5–8 page site, with the copywriting included, and are usually live in 2–4 weeks. That includes service times, event listings, and the structured data that lets search engines and AI assistants answer questions about your congregation. All prices are in Canadian dollars.
What should a church website include?
Service times above everything else, followed by what a first-time visitor can expect — dress, parking, length of service, children's programs. Most church sites lead with a mission statement, which serves existing members but tells a newcomer nothing about whether they'd be comfortable walking in.
Can volunteers update the site?
Updates are made by sending an email — no CMS login, no training session, and nothing that breaks when the volunteer who set it up moves away. Service changes and event cancellations can go live the same day.
Will our service times show up in Google and AI search?
If they're marked up correctly, yes. Service times encoded as structured data can be returned directly when someone searches or asks an AI assistant what time a church's service starts. Times that only appear inside an image or a PDF bulletin cannot.
