Done-for-you welcome & retention for churches

Get found. Keep your guests. Bring them back.

Most churches pour everything into Sunday — then lose 9 of 10 first-time guests, and never reach the millions who've quietly drifted away. WelcomePew gets you found on Google, follows up with every guest automatically so they actually return, and opens a warm path back for the ones who left. Done for you — see a free preview before you give a cent.

We don't sell church websites. We help you welcome people home.

The gap everyone forgot

Churches chase the front door. People leave out the back.

Getting found is only half of it. Keeping your guests — and reaching the ones who've already gone — is where most churches quietly lose people. That's exactly what we built for.

40M

Americans have left church — the largest faith shift in U.S. history.

20M+

of them say they'd come back — most just need a warm invitation.

~1 in 10

first-time guests is all most churches keep. The other 9 slip away.

Why WelcomePew

Other people get you found — then leave. We help you keep them.

Tithely, Subsplash and the rest hand a volunteer a dashboard and walk away — all aimed at the front door. Almost no one helps with what actually grows a church: keeping your guests, re-welcoming the ones who drifted, and bringing back the ones who left. That's the whole point of WelcomePew.

DIY church tools

All front door — a website and a dashboard, then you're on your own. Guests slip out the back, and the people who left are never reached.

WelcomePew

Done for you, top to bottom. Found on Google, a warm welcome, every guest followed up automatically, and a gentle path back for the ones who drifted away.

What you'll see

A simple monthly report: guests who found you, guests who came back, and people you re-welcomed home. The fruit, made visible.

What you get

Everything to welcome a guest — and keep them

One done-for-you system, not seven tools that don't talk to each other.

Found on Google

Be the church Google shows when a neighbor searches “church near me” — profile, photos, service times, directions.

Plan Your Visit

A warm, clear first impression that answers every first-timer's question — times, kids, parking, what to expect.

Digital connect card

Guests check in from their phone — and you instantly know they came.

Automatic guest follow-up

Every first-timer gets a warm text & email within hours — the #1 thing that brings them back, done for you.

Bring them back

Gentle win-back outreach to guests who drifted and members who slipped away — re-welcoming people home, automatically.

Online giving

Simple one-time & recurring giving + text-to-give, set up and connected — so generosity is never clunky.

Sermons & livestream

Your messages and live services, beautifully on your site for members, travelers, and those still deciding.

Events & sign-ups

Volunteer, small-group, and event registration that fills up serving teams and gets people connected.

Monthly growth report

Guests found, guests returned, new givers — the fruit of the work, in plain language, every month.

Complete brand kit

One cohesive look everywhere — logo suite, colors & fonts, plus ready templates for YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, sermon series & events.

Podcast & video media kit

Branded intros & outros, podcast cover art, YouTube banner, lower-thirds & sermon-clip templates — all with fully-licensed music, no strikes.

Website, Google, giving, and automatic guest follow-up — live in about two weeks, done for you.

Guests find you & stay

New people discover you, feel welcomed, and get followed up with — so more of them come back.

Built by people who do this

From the church world, for the church world

We pastor and build.

WelcomePew comes out of real ministry — built by a team that runs its own church and knows the Sunday-night reality: a thin staff, a stale website, and first-time guests who never came back. So we built the system we wished we had, and now we set it up for other churches too.

Our promise: every first-time guest followed up automatically, your Google front door optimized, and a monthly report of who found you and who came back.

This month at your church
  • Guests who found you
  • Guests followed up100%
  • Guests who came back

Generosity, made simple

Giving set up right — you keep more

We set up online giving on your own account, at the nonprofit rate — so more of every gift reaches the mission, and your tithes never pass through us.

The nonprofit rate

We get your giving on the discounted 501(c)(3) rate — lower fees than standard processing, so more of every dollar stays with your church.

It's your account — always

Giving runs through your church's own account, in your name. Every gift goes straight to you. We never hold, touch, or take a cut of your tithes — ever.

Easy & low-fee

One-time and recurring giving, text-to-give, and low-fee bank giving — effortless for your people, cheaper for your church.

Pricing

Simple. Faithful stewardship.

No long contracts. You own your site and your domain — always. Start with a free preview.

Questions

Straight answers

Isn't this just another church software we have to learn?

No — that's the whole point. Tithely, Subsplash and the rest hand you a dashboard and leave the work to you. We do the work: build it, set up Google and giving, and run the guest follow-up. You get the results, not another login.

What about people who've left or drifted away?

That's the part almost no one helps with — and it's huge: ~40 million Americans have stepped away from church, and most say they'd come back if someone simply reached out. We set up gentle, automatic win-back outreach to your guests who went quiet and members who slipped away, so you're not just gaining new people — you're bringing your own people home.

Do we own our website?

Yes. Your site and your domain are yours. No long contracts — cancel anytime and keep everything.

We don't have a logo or good photos. Can you still build it?

Absolutely. We handle your logo and imagery so nothing holds up your launch. As you send real photos, we add them in.

What about online giving and the fees?

We set up simple one-time & recurring giving and text-to-give on a trusted platform. We don't touch your tithes or take a cut of giving — we just make it easy so generosity flows.

How fast will it be live?

About two weeks from your go-ahead — fully set up on Google. If it's not live in that window, your setup is free.

What does it cost?

$499 to set everything up, then $149–$597/month depending on how much you want us to run. Retaining even a few more first-time guests, or a handful of new recurring givers, more than covers it.
