What is .CHURCH?

.CHURCH is a community focused domain extension created for churches and related faith organizations.

It helps visitors quickly recognize that your site represents a church or ministry.

Who can register a .CHURCH domain?

Anyone can usually register a .CHURCH domain, though it is primarily intended for faith communities and ministries.

It can be used for a main church website, campus sites, events, or outreach projects.

Why organizations choose .CHURCH

  • Clear identity as a church or ministry
  • Helps connect with members and visitors
  • Works well for local, regional, or online congregations
  • Supports simple and meaningful domain names

Why you might not choose .CHURCH

  • Specific focus: It is not suitable for non religious activities or mixed use brands.
  • Lower recognition: Some visitors still default to .COM or .ORG.
  • Brand consistency: If you already use .ORG, adding .CHURCH may split your web presence.
  • Perception: Some organizations prefer a more general extension if they run many types of programmes.

For flexibility and wide recognition, Website.com continues to recommend extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .CHURCH domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
