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.
This template is one of our free HTML form templates. See more form templates by industry. Choosing a form setup for your church? Read the guide: Best Contact Form for Churches (2026): Options by Use Case.
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.

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 automatic spam scoring 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.

How SplitForms works
splitforms receives the submission, filters spam, saves it to your dashboard and emails you — then, on paid plans, sends it on to your webhooks and integrations. No backend infrastructure to build.

Point your form to your unique SplitForms endpoint. That's it.

We instantly capture and organize every submission in your inbox.

Send data to email, spreadsheets, CRMs, webhooks, and 7,000+ apps.

No credit card required. Set up in under 60 seconds.
Connect & automate
On paid plans, submissions can also go to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier or any signed webhook — and splitforms works on the platforms you build on, from WordPress and Shopify to Next.js. With Stripe connected, your forms can take payments too.

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).
