Church tech without making it complicated.
I help church plants and small churches set up websites, Planning Center, and systems that their own people can actually manage. Fixed prices. No hourly surprises.
Acts 6 Systems
Iglesias hispanas?
Soy bilingüe. Puedo construir su sitio web y sus sistemas en español y entrenar a su equipo en español. Planning Center offers its help resources in English only. Having someone walk your team through it in Spanish makes a real difference.
How it works
-
1. Intake
Look carefully
You fill out one form about your church before any work begins. Your size, your stage, your current tools, and who will own the systems.
-
2. Build
Set it in place
I start with the same basic structure and build it around your church, including your ministries, photos, colors, and the tools you actually need.
-
3. Train
Your people learn it
Your admin learns the system on your own account, with short recorded walkthroughs your team can go back to later.
-
4. Hand off
Your church owns it
Access is transferred and documented. At least two leaders hold admin rights. Your team runs it, and I stay available through Care.

Why Acts 6
In Acts 6, a church’s system was failing its people. The apostles didn’t take it on themselves. They chose trusted people, set them over the work, and handed it off. That’s the whole idea.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Your church does. Every account is created on church email, at least two leaders hold admin access, and you get a written handoff document.
-
Squarespace, Planning Center, and your giving platform bill your church directly. I never resell software or add a markup.
-
Within two business days. I run Acts 6 Systems alongside full-time work and ministry, so I say that plainly up front.
-
Yes. Plants are the focus, but the same systems work for small established churches. The Tech Checkup is usually the best first step.
-
Sí. Builds, training, and support are all available in Spanish at the same price.
-
If it fits the blueprint, it gets quoted as an add-on. If it doesn’t, I’ll tell you plainly and point you to someone who can help.
Tell me where your church is and what you need. I’ll reply within two business days with next steps or a time to talk. Se habla español.
