Bilingual Church Portal

For small-to-mid bilingual congregations (Spanish/English) that need a real online presence — service times, pastor's message, online giving, contact, sermon archive — without paying $5k to a faith-vertical agency or living forever on a Wix template.

Inputs the operator provides

  • Church name + denomination (or non-denominational)
  • Pastor info (name, photo, brief bio, contact)
  • Service times (often multiple — Sunday morning ES, Sunday morning EN, Wednesday)
  • Address + map embed
  • Sermon archive (YouTube playlist or audio files) — optional
  • Stripe account for online giving
  • Photos of the building, congregation (with consent), recent events

Outputs the system produces

  • Bilingual site with prominent ES/EN toggle in header
  • Hero section with service times immediately visible (mobile-first — most check times en route)
  • About / Pastor's message / What we believe
  • Online giving via Stripe (recurring + one-time, both ES/EN)
  • Sermon archive (YouTube embed or audio player)
  • Contact + map + service-time card
  • Newsletter signup → Mailchimp / ConvertKit
  • Event calendar (optional, lighter)
  • Schema.org Church markup for Google Maps

Stack

  • Next.js 16 + Tailwind v4
  • next-intl or similar i18n for ES/EN
  • Stripe (recurring + one-time giving)
  • Supabase (newsletter signups, contact form submissions)
  • Vercel (deploy)
  • Optional: Sanity / MDX for the sermon-blog content layer

Build pipeline

  1. Day 1-2 — bilingual content gathering, brand extraction
  2. Day 3-5 — site shell + ES/EN toggle + service-time hero
  3. Day 6-7 — Stripe giving (recurring + one-time, both languages)
  4. Day 8 — sermon archive integration
  5. Day 9 — schema, SEO, accessibility
  6. Day 10 — staging review with pastor → revisions → DNS cutover
