Every update waits on one person
When a single staff member or volunteer holds the keys to the website, routine changes queue up behind everything else on their plate.
Your church website shouldn’t require a developer, a volunteer with a coding background, or a weekly call to an agency just to change the church service time. Amplify Websites gives church staff and volunteers a drag-and-drop editor built for people who run ministry, not servers — a church website builder that lets you update pages, post events, and keep your site current without touching a line of code.

The challenge
Most churches don’t have a full-time web developer on staff. Instead, website updates fall to a communications director, an administrative assistant, or a volunteer who’s also managing bulletins, social media, and Sunday morning logistics. When that person doesn’t have a technical background, even small changes, like updating a sermon series title or posting a holiday schedule, can turn into a bottleneck.
And when that person leaves or steps back? The church often loses the only person who knew how to touch the site. Pages go stale. Event listings stop matching what’s happening in the building. Visitors researching the church online, as most do before ever walking through the doors, find outdated information instead of a welcoming first impression.

Updating a service time or a sermon series title should not require a developer, an agency ticket, or a tutorial in a new tool.

How Amplify solves it
Amplify Websites replaces the guesswork with a drag-and-drop editor designed for church teams, not web professionals. Staff and volunteers log in, click the section they need to change, and publish, without waiting on a developer or learning a new coding language. Because the platform connects directly to your Amplify tools, routine updates like events and sermons sync automatically once they’re entered in your church management system, and built-in training resources and live support help the next person pick up right where the last one left off.
What makes updates simple
From drag-and-drop editing to automatic event syncing, these four features help church staff and volunteers keep their website updated with less time and effort.
Church-ready templates and a visual drag-and-drop editor let any team member manage and update the site with no coding required. Most teams can go live in two to three weeks with minimal technical effort.
Once an event is entered in Amplify People, it appears on the website automatically. Staff never have to log in twice to keep the calendar current.
A single sign-on gives staff access to everything they need to manage the site’s content, cutting down on the time spent switching between systems or hunting for passwords.
A help library, video tutorials, and live expert support mean a new staff member or volunteer can get up to speed quickly. Turnover doesn’t mean starting from scratch.
How it works
From logging in to publishing changes, see how church staff and volunteers can keep their website updated without technical skills.
Staff or volunteers sign in with a single login and see their website laid out in an easy-to-navigate editor, no technical setup required.
Click into a section, like service times, a staff bio, or an upcoming event, and edit it directly with drag-and-drop tools and live preview.
Hit publish for manual changes, or let events and sermons flow in automatically from Amplify once they’re entered in your church management system.
Outcomes
Staff and volunteers make routine changes themselves instead of submitting a request and waiting.
Training resources and live support help a new team member take over content updates without relearning everything from scratch.
Clear, simple tools mean fewer second-guesses about whether a change was made correctly or whether the site reflects what’s actually happening at the church.
Where this shows up
Three ordinary moments that used to require a developer, an agency, or a second data entry.
Before a holiday
A communications director adjusts Christmas Eve service times directly on the homepage in a few clicks, no email to a developer required.
Before the weekend
A volunteer who helps with communications adds a men’s retreat to the events page on Thursday night. Because it’s entered in Amplify People, it also appears correctly on the calendar without a second update.
When someone new steps in
When a longtime administrative assistant retires, the incoming staff member uses the help library and live support to learn the editor within her first week, keeping sermon archives, event pages, and staff bios current without a gap in coverage.
Connected tools
Amplify Websites syncs with Amplify People, so events and small groups entered in your church management system appear on the site automatically. It also connects with Amplify Giving, keeping donation forms embedded directly on your pages, and with the Amplify Mobile App, so one update reaches both your website and your app at the same time.

Customer proof
Ministry Brands customers point to support, usability, and confidence with digital ministry tools as reasons the platform works for teams without deep technical resources.
The customer support has been phenomenal! There are several different ways to learn about every aspect of the system. There are tutorial videos, expert lead video training sessions, articles for every aspect of the system, and a customer service phone line for more immediate issues. The ability to reach a person and speak to them individually about a question or issue is a rare gift today.
What I really like and appreciate is your customer service. We had some things we had to learn and understand, and the people who helped us with that were very patient and helpful in making that happen. We were able to get up and running quickly because of that.
Ministry Brands makes it simple to get your message out there, to be able to share the gospel with the people in your community and I think that’s what’s important…it makes it easy for people like me who aren’t graphics guys to go ahead and do this and deliver the message that needs to be delivered.
I really appreciate how easy it is to use this software. From making online forms, sending out giving records, emails, and finding reports, it’s wonderful! Makes updating the website very easy, as well!
