No. Most churches keep the site they have.
There are three ways this lands on your website and you pick one. We can host the sermon pages at your own address, we can give your web person one line to paste in so the recaps appear inside the site you already have, or if you run WordPress a plugin writes each recap in as a real page.
The only churches who move are the ones who ask us to, usually because the volunteer who built the old site left and nobody knows the login anymore.
No. We only need the public address of your channel.
Your sermons are already public. We watch that page the way anyone else could, and when a new message appears we pick it up. Nothing about that requires us to be inside your account, so we do not ask to be.
The same is true of a podcast feed or a Dropbox folder. A link is enough.
It sounds like the message, because it is written from the message.
The recap is built out of what was actually said that Sunday, in the order it was said, with the passages and the illustrations he used. It is not a generic summary of the topic.
The honest limit: it reads like a careful person wrote up the sermon, not like your pastor sat down and wrote an essay. That is the right bar. Nobody is trying to impersonate him.
Only if you want to. It is your call and you can change it whenever.
Most churches let it publish and read it afterward, because the whole point is that Monday stops being a job. Some churches read every one first for the first month and then stop.
Either way you can edit anything on the page yourself, at any time, and it stays edited.
You tell us, or you fix it yourself, and it is fixed.
Fixing your own is faster: open the message in your admin, change the words, save. There is no queue and no ticket.
If it is wrong in a way that will keep happening, tell us instead of fixing it every week. That is the kind of thing we would rather know about.
No. No sermon count, no minute cap, no per-video charge.
Churches with two services a Sunday, a Wednesday night and a Spanish service pay the same as a church with one message a week.
This is deliberate. Every tool that charges by the minute makes you think about whether a message is worth running, and a church should never be doing that arithmetic about its own preaching.
Those can come across too, and that is a separate one-time job rather than something the monthly price covers.
The reason it is separate: a decade of messages is real work, most of it on the old ones that have no title beyond a date. It is priced per sermon and quoted before anything starts.
Start with the free check. Paste your channel or feed and it reads back what your archive actually looks like, which is usually the first time anyone at the church has seen it laid out.
Yes. They are yours, they were always yours, and you can take them with you.
Your sermons are your church's. So is everything written from them. If you leave, you get the transcripts and the recaps out in a form you can use somewhere else.
We do not train anything on your sermons and we do not sell them to anybody.
No contract. It is month to month and you can stop by telling us.
There is no cancellation fee, no notice period and no phone call you have to sit through. The month you stop paying is the last month you pay for.
Your content comes with you when you go. See above.
Yes, and it is included rather than an upgrade.
Every message gets a Spanish recap alongside the English one, on the same page, with a toggle. A visitor reads whichever one they read.
For a church with a Spanish service or a growing Spanish-speaking congregation this is usually the part nobody has had time to do by hand.
One link and about ten minutes.
You tell us where your sermons live and what your church is called. We build the pages, and your first message appears on its own the week after.
If you want us to run the whole website there is more to it, because we need your photos, your service times and your ministries. That starts with a punchlist we send you, and a person walks it through with you.
A small shop in Jackson, Wyoming, and a person answers the phone.
That is a real answer to a real question. Church software is full of companies you can only reach through a form, and a church handing over its sermon archive deserves to know who is on the other end.
Email hello@recapsunday.com and a person reads it, usually the same day.
