Church Connect Updates 2026
- Build your church website faster with professionally designed website templates.
- Create multiple Church Connect sites while keeping your current website live.
- Additional updates include a new Connect dashboard, Hero video backgrounds, and a simplified navigation experience.
Whether you're building your first site or refreshing an existing one, these new Church Connect updates make it easier than ever to create a beautiful website and church app for your congregation.
Here's what's new:
1. Website Templates
Building a church website no longer means starting from scratch.
Choose from professionally designed website templates that include a homepage, navigation menu, starter pages, and Connect Cards. Simply choose the template that best fits your church, then customize it with your own branding, images, and content.

2. Multiple Church Connect Sites
Redesign your website without interrupting your current one.
You can now create multiple Church Connect sites within the same ChurchTrac account. Build a brand-new website, or experiment with different layouts while your site remains live. When you're ready, simply make your new site active.
3. New Church Connect Dashboard
The new dashboard gives you a 30-day snapshot of your Church Connect activity.
At a glance, you can see average daily views, total page views (daily), mobile app installs, and your most visited pages, giving you a better understanding of how people are engaging with your church online.
4. Hero Section Video Backgrounds
Bring your homepage to life with video backgrounds.
You can now upload short videos directly to your Header (Hero) section, creating a more engaging welcome experience for first-time visitors.
5. Updated Connect Navigation
We've reorganized Church Connect to make managing your website and members even easier.
The new Connect Setup tab brings your Church Connect tools together in one place. Add My Family and Connect Users now live inside instead of having their own separate tabs, making navigation even easier.
