Theme colors
Single Column

Theme colors
Information Only
One page with your location, contact details and next 5 events. Nothing to maintain.
Theme colors
Don't have time to keep up a website?
Information Only is a single page with your location, contact details, your next 5 events and your Watch Live link. Old links go to that page, the events keep themselves current, and switching to another template later brings everything else back.
Your look
Your name, your colors, your congregation.
Everything is a setting rather than a line of code, so whoever helps at the office can keep it looking right.
- Accent and base colors
- Choose from 17 accent colors and 5 base colors, and preview them before you save.
- Logo and favicon
- Upload your logo and the small icon that shows in a browser tab.
- Home page carousel
- Rotate big photos across the home page, each with a title, a description and a link.
- Featured sermon
- Put the sermon you want visitors to hear first right on the home page.
- Links visitors look for
- Plan a Visit, Service Times, About and Watch Live each have their own spot on the site.
- Social links
- Add shortcuts to your Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo and X pages.
Theme colors apply to the Two Column, Single Column and Information Only templates.

No. You choose a template, fill in your settings and write your pages in a simple editor. There is no code to write.
Yes. Your sermons and calendars stay current on their own as you use Lightpost. If you want even less to look after, the Information Only template is a single page with your contact details and next 5 events.
Yes. You add a CNAME record at your domain provider to point it at Lightpost, and we help you connect it. We can also register and manage a domain for you with the Domain Management add-on.
They don't have to. Redirects send visitors from your old addresses to the right new pages, so links in old emails and search results keep working.
Yes, once the Sermons page is turned on. Public sermons appear when you publish them, and sermons you keep for members stay off the website.
No. Your website is public, and your directory stays in the member web app and mobile app, where only your members can see it.

An add-on for any plan

For most visitors, your website is the first look at your congregation. Let it stay current with what you already do in Lightpost. Add it to any plan.
