Ekklesia 360 is a church content management system run by Monk Development, now part of Ministry Brands. Its pricing table lists sermons, podcasting, blogs, calendar and events, custom forms, privacy controls and scheduled publishing on every plan, with an Event and RSVP module and multisite logic for churches with more than one campus. Basic costs $70 a month with 10GB of disk space and 1,500 newsletters a month, Plus is $95 and Advanced is $190 with 1TB and 5,000 newsletters. Churches start from an e360 theme with a $500 onboarding, training and setup fee, or hire the team for a custom design. Online giving and church management software are both listed as additional costs, so the monthly figure is not the full price for a church that wants giving on the site. There are no contracts, and paying a year ahead saves 10%.
