A church website serves two very different visitors — a first-time guest deciding whether to attend, and a long-standing member wanting to give or catch up on a sermon they missed. Good design serves both.
Online Giving via M-Pesa
Making it possible to tithe or give an offering directly through the site, via M-Pesa, removes a real barrier for members who want to give but aren't physically present that week.
A Searchable Sermon Archive
Members increasingly expect to revisit a sermon they missed or want to hear again — a well-organised archive keeps this content accessible rather than lost in old social media posts.
Clear Service Times and Location
This should be the most obvious, easiest-to-find information on the site for anyone visiting for the first time — don't bury it.
An Events Calendar
Programmes, special services, and community events communicated clearly help keep the congregation engaged between Sunday services.
A Real Example
See Israel Universal Church, a real Kenyan church website built with exactly this kind of structure.
