Built for the Kingdom

Because we’ve been around long enough to know how many Christian ministry websites are quietly working against the organizations they’re supposed to serve – and we have the skills to do something about it. Built4Kingdom is a ministry program of Core4Life Ministries, not a sales funnel. The redesign is our contribution to the body of Christ. The retainer is how we keep the lights on and fund the broader work Core4Life Ministries does. We’d rather serve well than charge upfront.

No. You keep your hosting, your domain, and your logins. We work inside your existing setup. The only requirement is that your site runs on WordPress – that’s what Bricks Builder requires. If you’re not on WordPress, we can talk through options during the application process.

We build exclusively in Bricks Builder on WordPress. It’s fast, flexible, and produces a site you can actually manage without calling a developer every time something needs to change. Your retainer hours cover the updates most ministries need month to month – but the site is built so your team can handle the basics on their own.

Typically 3-4 weeks from the time we have everything we need from you. That includes your content, photos, and any branding materials. The most common delay is waiting on content from the ministry – the faster you get us what we need, the faster you go live.

The free redesign covers 8 pages – that’s enough for a complete, professional ministry website. If you need additional pages beyond that, we can build them as part of your retainer hours after launch. For larger sites with significantly more complexity, we’ll talk through scope during the application process before anyone commits to anything.

You do. We’re web builders, not copywriters or photographers. You’ll provide your existing content – service times, staff bios, belief statements, sermon links, photos, and anything else that tells your ministry’s story. We take what you have and make it look like it belongs on a professional website. If your content needs significant work before we can build, we’ll let you know during the application process.

Your retainer gives you a set number of hours each month to use for website updates and support. That includes things like adding sermon recordings, updating event pages, swapping out photos, editing text, fixing broken links, and general maintenance. Hours are prepaid monthly and don’t roll over – so it’s worth staying active. Anything outside normal updates – like adding major new functionality or a full page overhaul – we’ll scope separately before touching it.

If a project needs more than your monthly hours cover, we’ll let you know before we start. You can either wait until next month’s hours reset, purchase additional hours at a flat rate, or we’ll scope it as a separate project if it’s significant enough to warrant that. No surprises, no invoices you didn’t see coming.

We serve Christian ministries that hold to the historic essentials of the faith – the authority of Scripture, the Trinity, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and salvation by grace through faith. We’re not looking to be the theology police, but Built4Kingdom is a ministry program of Core4Life Ministries and we want to make sure we’re serving organizations we can stand behind. If you’re not sure whether you qualify, reach out anyway – we’ll have an honest conversation.

After the initial 6 months, your retainer goes month-to-month and you can adjust your tier or cancel with 30 days notice. We’re not interested in holding anyone hostage – if we’ve done our job well, you’ll want to stay. If your needs change, we’ll figure it out together.
