This is what a mid-size church running on ChurchStack looks like the day after go-live — every form, every dashboard, every notification, every access gate. Set up on your church's own domain, your church's accounts, your church's branding.
Every mid-size ministry ends up patching together a graveyard of subscriptions, spreadsheets, sign-up sheets, and free web tools — none of which talk to each other, all of which one volunteer keeps in their head.
One signup on paper, another on a free website, another in a group chat. No single inbox. Requests die in someone's DMs.
Ex-volunteers still have logins. New leaders can't get into the tools they need. Passwords in a text thread.
Events collide. Rooms double-booked. Pastor finds out about announcements Sunday morning.
No professional photos of the pastor or leadership team. First-time visitors can't put a face to the ministry — and they judge in seconds.
One tech-savvy volunteer holds it all together. When they step back, the whole stack collapses.
Not another software subscription. Not another platform to learn. ChurchStack delivers a fully-integrated stack of Microsoft 365 and custom-built ministry apps — all branded as your church, owned by your church, running on your accounts.
Microsoft 365 setup, 25 staff accounts, your church's custom domain, shared ministry mailboxes, and enterprise-grade security with PIN gates on private apps.
One command center for every ministry request, every announcement, every attendance count — with role hubs so leaders only see what's theirs.
Five mission-critical forms replace the whole graveyard of scattered sign-up sheets, printouts, and free web tools.
Purpose-built modules for Evangelism, Helps Ministry, Member Services, and Microsoft Training — each with its own workflow.
A branded digital front door on your church's domain — every ministry, every link, every event in one place your members can find.
One event shoot + leadership headshot session included. Because a professional stack deserves professional photos.
Signed in with the same Microsoft 365 account they already use for email. Customized by role — a pastor sees pastoral things, an IT lead sees IT things. No training required.
The 30-second view of everything pastoral: prayer requests coming in, this week's preaching prep, the weekly all-staff digest, baptism tracking.
Everything that keeps the business of the church running — approvals, purchases, reimbursements, roster oversight, weekly reports to the board.
Every human touchpoint outside the four walls — evangelism encounters, first-time guest follow-ups, event signups, volunteer waivers.
The full Microsoft 365 admin console, built right inside the dashboard. Add or remove users, track license usage, manage guests, review the audit trail — no separate admin site to learn.
Each one lives on your church's own domain, protected with a PIN where appropriate, and connected straight into the dashboard and Microsoft Teams so no request ever falls through the cracks.
Any ministry submits a Sunday/Wednesday announcement request. Executive Admin approves. Auto-posts to bulletin, email, screens.
announcements.newlifesample.churchReplaces the "hey can you look at this real quick" walk-up. Tickets threaded, tracked, assigned, closed with audit trail.
bit.ly/nlsm-itHousehold directory-update form — one submission covers up to 5 members. Keeps your member list from rotting.
directory.newlifesample.churchFarm work-day, event serve team, kids ministry — one form flow with typed cursive signature and emailed copy.
volunteer.newlifesample.churchFirst-time member intake — feeds pastoral follow-up queue, adds to directory, kicks off welcome sequence.
welcome.newlifesample.churchThese aren't dashboard tabs — they're full ministry workflow apps. Each one is its own secure sign-in area with its own process, its own team notifications, its own reports.
Every soul-winning encounter logged with first name, contact preference, and next-step assignment. Backfills existing data. Real-time dashboard for pastoral leadership.
Volunteers sign up for the ministry that fits their gift. Directors get roster + gift-mix report. New signups notify the right director instantly.
Care requests, benevolence asks, prayer needs — routed to the right team, tracked to resolution, logged for pastoral follow-up.
Class signups, roster, attendance, and post-class resource sharing — for the staff-training program your church runs to onboard leaders.
A branded homepage on your church's own domain — mobile-first, scheduled tiles, admin-editable by your staff, no developer required.
Every ministry link, in one place. First-time guests, existing members, and staff all land here. Mobile-optimized because 80% of your traffic is on a phone.
Time-aware tiles. The Sunday service tile only shows Sunday. The revival tile shows the week of. Weekly announcement tile disappears Monday morning. Admins schedule it once — the site does the rest.
Admin GUI with drag-and-drop. Ministry leaders reorder tiles, change icons, swap links themselves. No support ticket to change a URL.
Owned by you. Lives at newlifesample.church — your church's own domain, your branding, your data. Not a free third-party service.
A locked, repeatable delivery schedule that takes the time to get the foundation right. You'll know what's happening every phase, who's doing what, and what you're expected to review.
Other church-tech platforms build their business on your data and your monthly subscription. ChurchStack is built the opposite way — you own it, you control it, and you get a real human when you need help.
Everything runs under your Microsoft 365, your SharePoint, your custom domain. Your members, your submissions, your history — you can export it, migrate it, or walk away with it at any time.
The big platforms store your data on their servers. If they raise prices, shut down, or lock you out, your ministry's history goes with them.
You get a real person — a local Richmond-area photographer and IT administrator who shows up. Phone, text, or in-person visit. Not a support ticket that gets triaged in a call center.
The big platforms route you to a shared help queue. Expect email replies in 24–72 hours, no matter what broke.
$15,000 once — and it's yours forever. No monthly subscription creeping up 8% every year. No per-transaction fees. No per-user pricing that penalizes you for growing.
The big platforms bill monthly, forever. A 5-year commitment to a $500/mo platform is $30,000 — with none of it recoverable if you leave.
Designed for the church where the pastor is also the IT person, where the volunteer team is the operations team, and where every dollar has to count. Right-sized for 150–500 members.
The big platforms are built for mega-churches with dedicated IT staff and six-figure tech budgets. Their pricing and complexity reflect that.
No surprise bills. No per-user pricing. No 5-year contract. You own everything the day it goes live.
Typically replaces $18,000 – $30,000 per year of scattered subscriptions, per-transaction fees, and a part-time IT contractor.
ChurchStack isn't a "here's your website, good luck" project. It's a living platform. Every month we ship improvements to the source stack — and every client on retainer inherits them.
Real, working software — running today at Abundant Life International Church of Deliverance. Ready to deploy for your church.
Already in build. Free upgrade for every retained client.
A network of mid-size churches sharing tools and best practices without sharing data.
