What ChurchLume is
ChurchLume is a web platform for building a church website and bringing congregation-facing ministry tools into one hub. Its Website Studio lets teams visually edit pages, sections, images, and content, then publish the site. The platform also brings together giving, events, forms, prayer, live streaming, and people management. Churches can create watch and attend-online pages connected to their brand system, and use workflows, reminders, and structured ministry journeys to support follow-up from a first visit to a next step.
Teams can collect registrations, prayer requests, stories, and event details through forms. Giving options include Zelle, Stripe, and provider-based giving. ChurchLume provides domain setup, launch checklists, templates, and readiness cues for bringing a church online. Starter costs $29 per month and includes a ChurchLume subdomain, website and studio, events and forms, prayer requests, and basic people management. Growth costs $59 per month and adds a custom domain, email notifications, unlimited people and teams, and analytics and reports. Pro costs $99 per month and adds SMS notifications, advanced automations, multi-campus support, and priority support. A 14-day free trial is offered without a credit card, with cancellation at any time. The plans are described for small churches, growing churches, and larger ministries, respectively.
