About
StreamingChurch.tv is a purpose-built live streaming and digital ministry platform designed exclusively for churches. Founded in 2001 by a team of former pastors and church leaders, the platform has delivered over 1.5 million video viewer hours without outages, making it a reliable choice for congregations of all sizes. The platform goes far beyond basic streaming. Churches get a fully customizable viewer experience, moderated chat with private prayer and messaging, attendee mapping, sermon notes, and a full on-demand video vault. Automated follow-up workflows allow churches to re-engage online attendees after services end — a feature most generic streaming solutions lack. StreamingChurch.tv also bundles a free church app, church management system, and church website with higher-tier plans. AI-powered tools include an AI Webhost and AI Sermon Clipper for content repurposing. Streams can be distributed across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Apple TV, Roku, and Chromecast simultaneously. All plans include unlimited bandwidth, unlimited storage, and phone/chat/email support seven days a week. A free 30-day trial requires no credit card, making it easy for churches to evaluate the platform risk-free. Pricing tiers range from $19/month (Social Embed) up to $179/month (Platinum) for full-featured ministry broadcasting.
