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