Options: 'I'm new / planning a visit', 'Prayer request', 'Weddings, baptisms & dedications', 'Volunteering', 'General question'. That one field routes everything.
Form template · Detailed contact form
A church website's contact form serves three very different visitors: the family checking you out before Sunday, the member with a prayer request, and the person asking about weddings or baptisms. One form, one routing dropdown, all three handled.
Every template is free and fully editable in the drag-drop builder — swap fields, colors, and the button label before you publish.
No server, API route, or SDK — your Church Contact Form posts straight to one endpoint.
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it reaches you.
It's plain HTML you own — paste the Church Contact Form snippet, swap in your access key, and ship.
Copy and ship
HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

</p>How to add it
To add a Church Contact Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.
Options: 'I'm new / planning a visit', 'Prayer request', 'Weddings, baptisms & dedications', 'Volunteering', 'General question'. That one field routes everything.
Webhook or BCC each reason to the right inbox — prayer requests to the pastoral team, visitor inquiries to the welcome team, event questions to the office. Nobody's message sits unread for a week.
Set up an auto-responder that thanks the sender and tells visitors what to expect (service times, parking, kids check-in). A same-week personal follow-up is what turns a website visit into a pew visit.
What's included
Most church websites run on a volunteer-maintained WordPress or Squarespace site, and the contact form is either broken or dumps everything into one unwatched inbox. The fix is a routing dropdown — 'I'm new', 'prayer request', 'weddings / baptisms', 'general question' — with each option BCC'd or webhooked to the right person. Prayer requests deserve confidentiality and a fast, personal reply; a first-time visitor inquiry deserves a warm welcome email before Sunday. One form can honour both. Works on volunteer-maintained sites — no plugin, nothing to break, free to start.

Where submissions go
Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and spam classifier filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.

Testimonials
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I built the HTML in your generator, copied it, and the form was live in two minutes. The fastest zero-to-working form I've ever set up.”
“Our Gatsby marketing site needed a contact form without a serverless function per environment. splitforms removed an entire category of config.”
“Submissions are isolated per account with row-level security. As someone who reviews vendors for a living, the /security page told me everything I needed.”
“I run three client retainers through one splitforms account, each form tagged and routed to its own inbox. Clean separation, one dashboard.”
“The Eleventy starter I use now ships with splitforms by default. Every site I spin up has a working form before I write a line of content.”
“Notifications include the full submission, so I can triage a lead from my phone without logging in. That's the whole experience I wanted.”
Questions
Submissions go only to the email addresses you configure — they're not published anywhere. splitforms stores them encrypted at rest, and you can delete any submission permanently from the dashboard. Add a 'share with prayer team / pastor only' checkbox if your congregation expects that distinction.
Yes — the form is plain HTML and posts to splitforms, so it works in a Squarespace code block, a Wix HTML embed, or a WordPress page with no plugin. Church sites maintained by volunteers especially benefit: nothing to update, no plugin to break.
Yes — that's the 'I'm new' path. Add optional fields for how they found you and whether they'd like someone to reach out. Many churches put a QR code on the physical bulletin pointing at the same form so Sunday visitors and website visitors land in one place.
Yes — add BCC addresses in the dashboard, or webhook into a shared Slack / Planning Center workflow. Most churches send everything to the office admin plus the reason-specific lead (pastor for prayer, welcome-team lead for visitors).
