ChurchWebsites.ca: One Year of Empowering Churches Across North America
When the world shut down in 2020, churches faced an unprecedented crisis.
Sanctuaries closed. Congregations scattered. Pastors watched their communities fragment while operating budgets evaporated.
By the time doors reopened in 2022, the damage was profound: attendance hit all-time lows, and churches had to work twice as hard just to rebuild what they’d lost.
In this moment of desperation, Brian Olton, founder and CEO of Olton Marketing & Communications Inc., envisioned and recognized that churches didn’t need another generic website builder—they needed a partner who understood their mission, their challenges, and their communities.
ChurchWebsites.ca was born.
One Year. 90+ Churches. A Movement.
In just twelve months, ChurchWebsites.ca has transformed the digital landscape for over 90 churches across Canada and beyond.
But the numbers tell only part of the story. Behind each website is a pastor who can now reach their congregation 24/7. Behind each domain is a community finding its way back home.
The platform does far more than build websites.
Church Websites provides a complete digital ministry ecosystem: dynamic, mobile-first websites designed specifically for churches; secure email systems; ongoing maintenance and updates; firewall protection and cybersecurity; social media management; and design services that reflect each church’s unique identity and mission.
More importantly, it provides something churches desperately needed: a reliable partner who gets it.
Building a Network, Not Just Websites
What started as a lifeline has evolved into something bigger: a thriving network of churches supporting each other through digital empowerment.
Pastors now have access to best practices, shared resources, and a community of leaders facing similar challenges. Churches are no longer isolated—they’re connected.
This network effect is powerful. As one church succeeds with their online presence, others learn from that success. Newsletter sign-ups increase. Online giving grows. New visitors discover churches they never knew existed. Congregations that were fractured during lockdown are finding their way back.
From Canada to North America to the World
The success in Canada has opened doors. ChurchWebsites.ca is now positioned to expand across all of North America, bringing this same mission-driven approach to churches in the United States and beyond.
The vision doesn’t stop there—Europe is on the horizon.
This isn’t about building a massive corporation. It’s about scaling impact. Every church that gains a reliable digital presence is a community strengthened.
Every pastor who can focus on ministry instead of tech stress is a win. Every congregation that reconnects online is a step toward healing.
The Bigger Picture
ChurchWebsites.ca represents something rare in the business world: a company built on genuine compassion for its customers. Brian Olton and his team didn’t create this platform to maximize profit margins. They created it because churches matter. Communities matter. Faith matters.
One year in, with 90+ churches served and a network that’s only growing stronger, ChurchWebsites.ca has proven that there’s a better way forward. A way that honors the mission of churches while giving them the tools to thrive in a digital world.
“The best part? This is just the beginning.”
