Welcome to Watering Can Church Pages
We've been working on Watering Can Church Pages for a few weeks now, and while it’s still a little rough around the edges, there’s a simple, working version up and running. Current features include:
- Custom pages: Church staff can create custom pages using our web-based interface, with content is written in Markdown—no HTML knowledge required.
- Free subdomain: Churches can use a subdomain on wateringcan.org, removing the cost and complexity of registering a separate domain.
- Instant publishing: Pages go live on your church's subdomain as soon as they're published—no separate web hosting needed.
- Secure by default: All church sites are automatically protected with SSL security, ensuring a safe and trustworthy experience for your visitors.
- Contact form: A pre-built form lets visitors get in touch without exposing staff email addresses.
- Blogging system: Share updates and upcoming events using our simple, Markdown-based blogging system.
This very website is hosted on Watering Can Church Pages. By using it ourselves, we're able to find bugs and identify improvements organically, without having to wait on feedback from our users.
In the short term, we're focusing on polishing what’s already there—making each feature look and feel a little better. In the long term, we'd like to add a calendar system for events, and maybe even some integrations with tools like maps or SermonAudio.
Watering Can Church Pages is a "passion project", so to speak, and we have no plans to charge for it. We enjoy building websites like this, and our hope is that it can be a small blessing to Bible-believing churches—and maybe even help, in some small way, to lead people to Christ.
If you’re part of a Bible-believing church and need somewhere to host your site, please reach out! We'd love to have the opportunity to help get your church online.
