FAQ

What is it?

BibleGate.org Free Home Site is a service designed specifically for non-denominational church of Christ congregations. You have control over the content and some look-and-feel. Any changes you make will appear immediately, no need to contact us for updates.

Since the site is hosted at BibleGate.org and you'll be using our domain name, you incur no expenses. No annoying ads will be displayed on your free home site.

Who can get it?

If you wish to have a presence on the Internet and met the following requirements, you are eligible! Here are the requirements: 1. you must be a non-denominational church of Christ congregation; 2. you must be located in the United States (this can be waived if you don't mind not having the location mapping feature); 3. you plan to use English as the primary language on your website.

How does it look like?

BibleGate.org Free Home Site was designed to be very easy to set up and maintained. To achieve that goal, customization is limited. Although you cannot change certain aspects of the site, you have control over the content, pictures, page alignment, header color, background color, font style, font size, line spacing, and visitor counter.

There are over 100 congregations currently using the BibleGate.org Free Home Site service. Listed below is a sample of our users.

What is the web address?
