A Church Website Your Congregation Actually Uses
You pastor a church, mosque, or community religious organisation in Kenya. Members ask for service times, sermon recordings, event details, and how to give. WhatsApp groups answer five but miss fifty. Tayo Host gives you a fast, simple website that handles all of it — service schedules, sermon archives, tithe collection via M-Pesa, and event RSVPs.

The Problem
Why WhatsApp Groups Are Failing Your Congregation
Most Kenyan churches communicate with members via WhatsApp groups. It works for the regulars. It fails for everyone else — and "everyone else" is where growth comes from.
Pain Point 1
New attendees cannot find your service times
When someone moves to your neighbourhood and Googles "Sunday service near me", they find churches with websites. You are invisible if your service schedule lives only in a closed WhatsApp group.
Pain Point 2
Sermon recordings die in WhatsApp expiry
WhatsApp media auto-deletes after 30 days on most phones. A sermon recording from last year — gone. A website with a sermon archive keeps every message permanently, indexable, shareable, downloadable.
Pain Point 3
Tithes via Pay Bill alone leave money on the table
Members travel, members miss services, members give less when they have to remember a Pay Bill number from memory. A "Give now" button on your website with M-Pesa Express lets the offering happen in three taps from anywhere.
Pain Point 4
Event invitations lose half the audience to WhatsApp drama
WhatsApp message threads bury the prayer breakfast invite under 200 unrelated messages. A website event page with date, time, location, and an RSVP form keeps the information findable for the whole month leading up.
Why It Matters
What a Church Website Becomes Over Time
A church website is more than a brochure. Once you launch, it accumulates value with every passing month. Every sermon you upload becomes a search-engine-findable resource that brings people to your church through Google. Every event creates a permanent URL members can revisit. Every announcement archives itself instead of disappearing into a WhatsApp scroll.
For Kenyan churches specifically, the local context matters. Your congregation pays in M-Pesa, browses on smartphones, and travels between Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and the diaspora. A website that loads fast on 4G, accepts M-Pesa tithes from anywhere, and lets the diaspora congregation watch sermons online keeps the church connected across geography.
Tayo Host WordPress Single is the right starter. Free .org or .africa domain, free SSL, daily backups, LiteSpeed Cache so sermon pages serve fast. Install a theme like ChurchPress, BBN Nirvana, or any clean WordPress theme. Add a sermon-archive plugin (free), an event calendar plugin (free), and GiveWP for M-Pesa tithes. Total monthly cost: $5.99 first year, $9 renewal. Less than the offering basket from one Sunday.
