Gather MarketingEcclesia Studio by Gather Marketing · For small churches
A church website you never have to touch.
I build it, keep it running, and come to your church with a camera. You review and approve. That is the whole job on your end.

The problem
Most people decide whether to visit from their phone, days before Sunday.
In a small church the website is one more thing nobody has time for. So it goes stale, and the first impression goes with it.
- Service times from two pastors ago
- A Squarespace login nobody remembers
- Stock photos of a church that is not yours
- No one to call when it breaks
How it works
Three steps. Then it is handled.
- 1Call or text me.
Twenty minutes about your church. No forms, no obligation.
- 2I come to you.
One visit with a camera: your people, your pastor, a short welcome video. Real photos, not stock.
- 3Live in 2 to 3 weeks.
I host it, update it, and keep it running all year. New service time, new pastor photo: text me and it is done.

Who builds it
I spent 17 years in the pulpit, most of it in small churches where the website was one more thing nobody had time for.
So I build church websites the way I wish someone had built mine: I do all of it, and you never log in. Matt Headley, Jacksonville, Alabama.
Twenty minutes about your church. No forms.
Need someone to lead worship, too? I do that.
