Church Website Template
A welcoming site for churches, parishes and ministries: service times right in the hero, what a first visit is like, a Sunday schedule that draws itself as you scroll, groups for every age, the people who lead them, upcoming events and directions to the door.
One page keeps everything on a single scrolling page. The 4-page website opens all its pages in the editor: Home, Events, Visit, Privacy.

About this template
A Free Church Website Template You Can Edit Online
A welcoming site for churches, parishes and ministries: service times right in the hero, what a first visit is like, a Sunday schedule that draws itself as you scroll, groups for every age, the people who lead them, upcoming events and directions to the door.
Use it as one scrolling page, or as a 4-page website (Home, Events, Visit, Privacy) sharing one navbar, footer and theme. The one-page version is built from 12 sections of the Website Section Templates library and opens in the free Website Builder, where you can change every word and image, swap sections, set your own colours and fonts and export the finished site as clean HTML pages. The page is responsive, accessible and animated with GSAP, with content that stays visible without JavaScript.
The template ships with a Playfair Display and Inter font pairing and a colour theme suited to church websites; switch to any Google Font, upload your own, or apply your brand kit in one click.
Extras included
Extras Built Into the Church Website Template
Beyond the standard sections, the Church Website template includes 2 extras that you can edit, move or remove in the builder.
Back to Top Button: a floating back to top button that appears after the visitor scrolls, so a long page is easy to leave and return.
Accessibility Toolbar Widget: a floating accessibility toolbar where visitors can enlarge text, raise contrast, hide images and pause animations.
Each extra has its own page in the free Website Section Templates library, where you can try its settings on their own before you use it here.

How to Get the Most From the Church Website Template
A first-time visitor wants to know when services are, where to park, whether children are welcome and what to expect. This template answers those questions first: a welcoming hero with service times and a plan-a-visit button, a scroll-through guide to your first Sunday, ways to get involved, the people who lead, upcoming events and a map with directions and access information. The multi-page version adds Events and Visit pages.
Write in a warm, plain tone, put the service times in the first screen and say plainly what happens, how long it lasts and what to wear. Use real photographs of your people and building, list the groups that meet during the week and add parking and step-free access details in the map section. Link the plan-a-visit button to a short form or a contact page, and keep the events list current so the site never looks abandoned. A filterable gallery shows Sundays, community meals and events, so new visitors can see what the community is like.
