ShareFaith

What ShareFaith is

ShareFaith's church website builder is a site builder for churches. The page says it lets you "create custom church websites with no code and a visual website builder," and it is sold by Sharefaith, LLC of Knoxville, Tennessee, whose pages also carry the Ministry Brands name. The reader is a church or ministry, whether a pastor, an office administrator or a volunteer who looks after the site. The builder is one part of a wider ministry software line that the home page lists as Kids Ministry, Media, People, Giving, Streaming, Websites, Accounting, Safety, Communications and a Mobile App.

The page frames the choice as "DIY or Custom, The Choice is Yours." You can build on a template yourself, or you can pay the team to design a site for you. This entry covers the website builder first, because that is the product the address points to, and the mobile app builder second, because the product line includes one.

What you build and how

The editor is the center of the product. The company calls it "A World-Class Website Editor" and describes it as "No Coding! 100% Drag & Drop." It names the engine: the designs run on Elementor, which the company calls "the world's best WordPress editor." So the sites are WordPress-based, and the editing experience is Elementor's drag-and-drop. The page says each design is "easy to update and guaranteed to look great on any device."

You start from a design. The page shows a portfolio of named ministry designs, Advent, Hillside, Sanctuary, All Saints, Morning Star, Hope and Revival, with a "Demo a Site for Free" option on each. The home page says the line includes "over 250 professional ministry designs." The designs are "professionally-designed & ministry-focused," and the company says each "has been designed to help your ministry accomplish its mission online."

Then come the church-specific parts that a general builder would make you assemble.

• Sermons. An audio and video sermon library lets you "share your weekend messages through audio and video, or make them available for download." The page says the sermons are "easy to find, search, and filter."
• Forms. The page says "a form for everything." Its forms let members register for events, get information or give online.
• Prayer requests. Members can submit prayer requests, and "simple settings allow you to manage privacy, sharing, and responses."
• Communication. The site includes blogs, podcasting and newsletters, so written and audio content has a home.
• Media. Your membership "comes with full access to Sharefaith Media." The home page describes that library as 100K+ church graphics, mini-movies and worship backgrounds, with ministry content for Easter, Christmas and sermons, an online graphic editor plus PSD files, social media content and printable templates for bulletins, flyers and newsletters.

Several services sit around the builder. A migration team will "take the content from your old site and beautifully recreate it on your new Sharefaith website." A strategy service has "experienced strategists" guide you "through a proven process of building a site that is focused on reaching each of your ministry goals." A custom design service will "craft a custom website from the ground up." The home page adds that you can manage multiple websites in one account, which matters for a church with several campuses or ministries.

The mobile app is the second category this product appears in. The home page lists a Mobile App section about deeper engagement with the church, with the line "Our Mobile App Builder is dedicated to weaving God and your Ministry into the fabric of daily life, keeping your members spiritually connected." The app ties into the rest of the line: the streaming product says it streams "instantly to Facebook, YouTube, and your Website/App," and the giving product lists app giving next to text, online and kiosk giving. One customer on the home page, Lake Community Presbyterian, says Sharefaith helps it "navigate website, App, giving, Presenter for visual graphics used during service, and a large variety of graphics," which shows a church running the site and the app from the same vendor. The Kids ministry offering also mentions a "Kids app" alongside a lesson scheduler and VBS bundles, but that is part of the curriculum product, not the church app builder.

Other products in the same company line are context rather than part of this entry, though several feed the website. Church management software offers online event and group registration, custom fields and reports, and workflows that automate repetitive tasks. Giving software lets a church embed giving forms "that match your brand" and advertises "ZERO monthly fees." Streaming software runs live streams with real-time chat, prayer requests and sermon notes, and lets a church schedule, edit and archive its streams.

What the pages say about plans, trials and support

The site publishes no prices for the website builder. The builder page offers "Start Your Free Trial," and the header carries Subscribe and Free Trial buttons, with trials listed for the ShareFaith Suite and Premium Kids. The closing line of the builder page explains how the pieces fit: "Sharefaith Church Websites are just one part of our incredible Suite of church technology resources. Explore them all when you start your Sharefaith Suite free trial today!" So the way in is a trial of the whole Suite, and the page adds that your membership includes full access to Sharefaith Media.

For help, the page says "whether you like video tutorials or talking to a human we've got you covered," and that the team's "top priority is your success." It describes an "All-Star Team" that will help with support, strategy, migration or building from scratch, and the home page calls the website line "Award-Winning Ministry Tools to Attract, Engage, & Grow Online."

Customer proof is a set of short testimonials. OneChurch, represented by Jason A. Gaines of South Windsor, Connecticut, wrote: "We have used Sharefaith for about 4 years, and without a doubt, it's the number one resource for our website/media needs every week!" Freedom Church, represented by Ken Williams of Saddy Daisy, Tennessee, called Sharefaith "a huuuuuge blessing" and said, "Nowhere else do you find the ease, the selection, and support like at Sharefaith." Rock River Christian Center, represented by Brian Vickers of Rock Falls, Illinois, wrote that "we've used Sharefaith for over a year now." All 3 are shown with 5 stars. The home page also states that Ministry Brands Amplify Giving "helps drive over $6.4 billion in annual donations," which is a claim about the giving product rather than the website builder.

Who it suits and who it does not

It suits a church that wants a finished, ministry-shaped site more than a blank canvas: sermons, event forms, prayer requests and media already part of the design, with a team to migrate the old site. A small church with a volunteer web person can start from a template and demo it first. A larger organization can use the custom design route and the multi-site account.

It fits less well for a church that wants only a basic site on a tight budget, because the product is sold as part of a larger ministry suite rather than as a standalone site plan. The editor is Elementor on WordPress, so a team that prefers another editor will be working inside that one. The mobile app builder gets one short section on the home page, so a church choosing mainly for the app has less to go on than for the website.
