What is Altar Live?

Altar Live is a web-based platform for churches and religious organisations to host live services online. It combines live streaming capabilities with interactive features designed to keep viewers engaged during worship services. The platform allows congregations to broadcast services to remote attendees, incorporate chat functionality, and manage donations or giving during streams. Churches of any size can use Altar Live to reach people who cannot attend in person, whether due to distance, illness, or other circumstances. The freemium model means small congregations can get started at no cost, with paid plans available for organisations needing additional features or support.
