This is a sample church website made with Hillfold. The church and its people are made up.

Update your church's details

Change your service times, address, contact details and the public Ministries and Beliefs pages.

Who does thisSecretary or webmaster

Administration → Church settings holds the details that show across your public website and the member area. When you save, the change shows as soon as someone opens a page. (Search sites such as Google update on their own schedule.)

Only the secretary (or whatever your church calls the office role) and the webmaster can open Church settings.

Church basics

The Church basics tab has three parts:

  • Sunday: Sunday School starts and Worship starts. Type times like 9:30 AM.
  • Address: Street, City, State (two letters) and ZIP code.
  • Contact: Phone, Office email and Office hours (optional).
  1. Change what you need.
  2. Tap Save church basics.
  3. You’ll see “Church basics saved. They show on the website now.”

Public pages

The Public pages tab lets you edit three lists on your public website:

  • Ministries page
  • What we believe: summary
  • What we believe: confession at a glance
  1. Open the list you want to change.
  2. Edit the title and text of each item. Use the arrows to move an item up or down, or Remove to take it out.
  3. Tap Add an item for a new one.
  4. Tap the Save button under that list. Each list saves on its own.

The Leadership page isn’t edited here. It lists the people in your leadership offices from Church offices. See Church offices.

Alert emails

The webmaster also sees an Alert emails tab. These addresses get an email when someone signs in and needs approval, when someone is let in automatically, and when a prayer request needs review. You can have up to 10 addresses, and at least one must stay.

What isn’t here

Your church’s name, logo and colors are set when your site is built, not on this page. To change them, ask whoever set up your church’s website.

If something goes wrong

  • “Check the format of…” One field didn’t look right. Times look like 9:30 AM; phone numbers like (555) 555-0100. Fix the field named in the message and save again.
  • “That didn’t save.” Reload the page and try again. Someone else may have saved a change at the same time.
  • “Add at least one item with a title.” A list can’t be empty. Add an item with a title before saving.
  • I don’t see the Alert emails tab. Only the webmaster sees it.
