How a Secret Fire project works
Every project starts with learning your church: your people, your story, and how you serve your community. You work with me directly, from the first call through launch day and after. Because of this, I take on a limited number of projects at a time so that your church or organization gets the attention it deserves.
Discovery Call
Free. We talk through your ministry, goals, existing tools, and timeline.
Proposal & Scope
Your package plus any add-ons. Fixed price, clear deliverables, defined timeline.
Design & Build
You review the work at each milestone. I handle the build, so your team doesn't carry the load.
Launch & Training
Your site goes live, you get a recorded training session, and your support window begins.
Ongoing Care
A retainer from launch day keeps your site maintained and secure.
Choose your package based on the size of your site.
Every package is a fully custom Squarespace website. Packages differ only by page count and support window.

What counts as a page? Each unique, designed page on your site, like Home, About, Plan a Visit, or Give. Blog posts, events, sermon entries, and other collection items don't count toward your total, so your site can keep growing without changing your package.
The Reignite Promise
If you are not completely satisfied with your new website within 30 days of launch, I'll make unlimited revisions at no additional cost until you are. You don't pay the final 50% until the site launches, so you're never handing over money for something you haven't approved.
Post-launch support: what's included
| The Spark | The Flame | The Inferno | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Support window | The Spark: 30 days | The Flame: 60 days | The Inferno: 120 days |
| Fixes | Unlimited. If something I built breaks, I fix it at no charge. | ||
| Questions | Email me with questions anytime during your window, especially anything the training didn't cover. | ||
| Small tweaks | Minor changes to your existing pages are included, like updating text, swapping a photo, or adjusting a detail that isn't quite right. | ||
| Training | Live training session at launch, recorded and saved to your shared folder so new staff and volunteers can learn the site later. | ||
| Response time | 48 hours | ||
| Does not cover | New pages and new features. Those are quoted separately or handled through a retainer. | ||
Most organizations start a retainer at launch so there's no gap in care. I stay connected to your site as an administrator either way, so starting a retainer later requires no onboarding or catch-up work. Additional support outside a retainer is available at $125/hour.
Add-ons: build what your ministry needs.
Add any of these to a website project, or book them on their own whenever the need arises.
Sermons & reach
Sermon Engine
$497with a website project
$997 standalone
Your sermon archive, podcast distribution, and YouTube channel, set up so each message reaches everywhere people listen. Weekly Content Packs are separate: they turn each sermon into a week of content for your church.
Local SEO Setup (Google Business Profile + Apple Business)
$397first location
+$47 each additional
For organizations starting from scratch. I claim and verify your listings on Google and Apple Maps, then complete them with accurate hours, categories, description, and photos. Includes location schema on your website and key pages aligned with the local terms people search for. Multi-campus churches get a listing for every location.
Local SEO Tune-Up
$197first location
+$47 each additional
For organizations whose listings are already claimed but outdated or incomplete. A full review of your Google and Apple listings: accurate hours (including holiday hours), categories, and description; your name, address, and phone number matching exactly across both listings and your website; refreshed photos; duplicate or outdated listings cleaned up; and location schema added to your site. If only one platform has been claimed, I'll claim and set up the other too. Included free in your first month of the Blaze or Torch Plan.
Email Marketing Setup (MailerLite)
$297one-time
Start building a direct line to your people. Includes MailerLite account setup, a signup form on your website, a welcome email for new subscribers, and a branded newsletter template your team can reuse.
A starter MailerLite account is free for up to 250 subscribers. See MailerLite's pricing as you grow.
Your website
Website Policies (privacy policy, powered by Termageddon)
$197first year included
Squarespace provides a cookie banner, but it doesn't write your privacy policy. Any site with a contact form, online giving, event registration, email signup, or analytics collects personal information, and a growing number of states have laws about how that must be disclosed. Those laws change often, and a policy copied from another site can go out of date without anyone noticing. Termageddon generates a privacy policy tailored to your site from a guided questionnaire, then updates it automatically when laws change. Your people trust you with their names, emails, and giving information; this is a simple way to honor that trust. Includes setup, embedding on your site, and your first year's license. Annual renewal is included in every retainer plan, or $97/year without one.
Additional Pages
$197per page
For sites that sit between package sizes, like a Spark site that needs one more page. Projects over 20 pages begin with a $497 paid discovery session, credited toward your project, so the full scope is clear before building begins.
Content Archive Migration
$125per hour, estimated
Moving a large archive of blog posts, news, or other past content from your current site. Estimated up front in your proposal so there are no surprises. (Sermon archives are handled through the Sermon Engine.)
Additional Training
$125per hour, estimated
Extra one-on-one training for staff or volunteers who manage your site, scheduled whenever you need it.
Your team & tools
Business Email Setup (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or Proton)
$497one-time
Get your staff off personal accounts and onto professional email on your own domain. Includes account creation for up to 10 staff (additional accounts at $25 each), DNS/MX record configuration, SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup for deliverability, shared mailboxes and group aliases (e.g. info@, giving@), and a staff training session. Migrating existing mail, calendar, and file data from a current provider is quoted separately, typically ~$75/mailbox.
Platform pricing varies by provider and is paid to them directly.
Planning Center Full Setup & Training
$1,497with a website project
$1,997 standalone
For churches starting fresh on Planning Center or rebuilding a disorganized system. Planning Center charges by module, so we choose the modules your church will use and I set up each one, import your existing member records, and train your staff. Available with a website project or on its own.

Referral program
Refer a fellow pastor or ministry leader whose organization signs any project, and receive one free month on your retainer plan. It's my way of saying thank you.
