One flat fee. No surprises. If your church qualifies for Google for Nonprofits, your Workspace licenses are free — you only pay for setup and support.

Most churches come to us with a mix of old email accounts — personal Gmail addresses, a legacy hosting provider, or an outdated Microsoft setup that nobody fully understands. Our process is designed to eliminate confusion and downtime from day one.
After you sign up, we start with a discovery call to audit your current email environment. We document every mailbox, alias, and distribution list your team uses. From there, we handle all the technical work: domain verification, DNS record updates, SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication, and mailbox-by-mail migration. Your staff keeps receiving email throughout the entire process — there is no blackout window.
Once migration is complete, we test deliverability across major email clients, confirm calendar and contact sync, and walk your team through anything that changed. Most churches are fully live on Google Workspace within 3–7 business days from signup.
If your church or ministry is a registered 501(c)(3), you very likely qualify for Google for Nonprofits, which provides Google Workspace for Nonprofits at no license cost. That means professional church email addresses (@yourchurch.org), 30GB of Gmail storage per user, Google Drive, Google Meet, and the full productivity suite — completely free from Google.
The pricing you see on this page is for our setup and ongoing management services, not for Workspace licenses themselves. Many churches that come to us have been paying $6–$12 per user per month to third-party email hosts, not realizing they could eliminate that cost entirely. For a church with 20 staff and volunteer accounts, that's potentially $1,440–$2,880 per year returned to ministry budget.
We handle the Google for Nonprofits application process as part of onboarding. If your organization isn't approved for any reason, we'll let you know before you're committed to anything.
The most frequent issue we see is a church where the founding pastor set up email years ago through a web host like Bluehost or GoDaddy, and now nobody remembers the login credentials, emails are landing in spam, and new staff are using personal Gmail accounts for church business. This creates real ministry risk — donor communications go missing, volunteers don't get replies, and sensitive pastoral conversations are happening on unsecured personal accounts.
Another common scenario is a church that tried to set up Google Workspace on their own and got stuck on DNS records or DKIM configuration. These are legitimate technical tasks, and there's no shame in not knowing them — they're not intuitive even for people with IT backgrounds. We've completed migrations for churches where the DNS had never been properly configured, and emails had been silently failing authentication for years.
We also regularly work with churches that have multiple domains — a main ministry site, a school or daycare arm, a camp or retreat center — and need unified email management across all of them. Our Growth and Enterprise tiers are built to handle exactly that kind of complexity.
A common question we hear is whether the monthly fee continues indefinitely or just covers the migration. The monthly fee covers ongoing support, monitoring, and management of your Google Workspace environment — think of it as having a dedicated email administrator available to your church without hiring one full-time. This includes adding and removing users, updating forwarding rules, troubleshooting delivery issues, and keeping your security settings current.
Churches also ask whether they can migrate only some mailboxes and leave others behind. The short answer is yes, but we generally advise against a split environment because it creates long-term complexity. We'll talk through your specific situation on the discovery call and give you an honest recommendation rather than pushing you toward a larger plan than you need.
Finally, many churches want to know what happens if they already have a Google Workspace account set up. If you have an existing Workspace org, we can take it over and migrate or restructure it as needed. The setup fee reflects the actual work involved, so if your environment is already partially configured, that will be factored in.
