Yes — for churches with nontechnical staff, I’d focus on website builders that make it easy to update service times, event calendars, announcements, sermons, and ministry pages without needing a developer.

Best church-friendly website builders

1. Squarespace

Best for: Clean design and simplicity
Why it works well:

  • Very easy drag-and-drop editing
  • Good templates for ministries, events, and announcements
  • Built-in forms, calendars, and blog posts for updates
  • Nice mobile-friendly design out of the box

Tradeoff: Less flexible than some other tools for advanced church-specific features.


2. Wix

Best for: Maximum ease for nontechnical staff
Why it works well:

  • Very intuitive editor
  • Easy to update worship schedules, ministries, and news
  • Lots of templates and apps
  • Can add calendars, prayer request forms, livestream embeds, and more

Tradeoff: Can feel a little cluttered if you add too many features.


3. WordPress.com

Best for: Growing churches that want more structure
Why it works well:

  • Good for pages, posts, and ministry updates
  • Easy publishing workflow for staff
  • Many church-oriented themes
  • Can scale as the church grows

Tradeoff: Slightly more learning curve than Squarespace/Wix.


4. Tithe.ly Church Website Builder

Best for: Churches wanting church-specific tools
Why it works well:

  • Built specifically for churches
  • Often includes sermon archives, giving, events, forms, and staff tools
  • Designed for volunteers and staff with limited technical skills
  • Can integrate with church management systems

Tradeoff: Less design freedom than general-purpose builders.


5. Breeze ChMS Website Tools

Best for: Churches already using Breeze for member management
Why it works well:

  • Good if you want website updates tied to church management
  • Easier coordination of events, groups, and communication
  • Simple for staff to maintain

Tradeoff: Best if you’re already in the Breeze ecosystem.


6. Sharefaith

Best for: Churches wanting an all-in-one church platform
Why it works well:

  • Church-focused templates and features
  • Easy updates for sermons, events, ministries, and worship schedules
  • Often includes graphics and media tools

Tradeoff: Can be more expensive than basic builders.


What to look for

For nontechnical staff, prioritize:

  • Simple editor with drag-and-drop or block-based updates
  • Event/calendar tools for worship and ministry schedules
  • Role-based permissions so staff can only edit certain areas
  • Forms for prayer requests, volunteer signups, and contact
  • Mobile-friendly templates
  • Recurring content like sermon archives and announcements

My quick recommendation

  • Simplest and most polished: Squarespace
  • Easiest for everyday staff edits: Wix
  • Most church-specific: Tithe.ly or Sharefaith
  • If you want growth and flexibility: WordPress.com

If you want, I can also give you:
