Russian & Ukrainian-speaking churches · United States
Three languages in one room, and a website that serves all of them.
The pastor preaches in Russian. The youth group answers in English. The grandmothers read Ukrainian. A site in one language serves a third of your congregation, and the distribution list in the kitchen drawer serves nobody.
Nobody is building for your congregation.
There are more than two hundred Slavic churches across the United States, in thirty-five states — a substantial number of them in Florida, Washington and California. Almost all of them face the same three things: a website that is either absent or an abandoned WordPress install, a congregation that needs more than one language, and a food or clothing distribution tracked in a notebook.
No American agency is going to tell you how to word a giving page for a congregation that remembers the 1990s, and no Slavic-market developer knows what the IRS expects in a year-end donor statement. That combination is the whole point of this company.
Three languages, checked by a person.
Machine translation gets church language wrong in ways that are quietly embarrassing: Scripture references in the wrong edition, ministry names translated literally, a tone that reads like a bank. Our own church system includes a translator that follows church rules — the Synodal translation, Ohiienko for Ukrainian — and everything that goes out is checked by a person.
Natalie is a translator and editor by training, working in Russian, Ukrainian and English. Practically, this means your site, your app, your registration forms and your announcements all say the same thing in all three languages, and the Russian does not sound translated.
The members who will never read an email will install an app.
This surprises people, and it is consistent: older members ignore email entirely, but they will add an app to their phone if someone shows them once, and they will read what it sends. A website people install as an app, with push notifications for a service change or a distribution date, reaches the part of your congregation that a mailing list has never reached.
It works the other way too. Auto-publishing to the church's Telegram channel from the same admin means one person types the announcement once. Today it is three people posting it in three places and disagreeing about the time.
What this looks like for a church.
- Food and clothing distribution. Sign-up by date, phone confirmed by SMS, a QR code and PIN, scanning at the table, and a report that writes itself — the full case is here. From $450.
- Children and youth. Registration with age groups, allergy notes kept restricted, authorized pickup, check-in and check-out. From $1,200 per season.
- The site and the app. Services, ministries, events, media, giving and contact, in three languages, with push notifications and your own installable app. Part of the full system from $3,500 plus $120 a month.
- Giving as American donors expect it. Stripe, Apple Pay and Google Pay, recurring gifts, an option to cover the fee, and the year-end statements donors need in January.
- Redirects from the old site. If there is a WordPress site nobody can log into any more, we move what is worth keeping and redirect the old addresses so they keep working.
For the first three organizations, the first workflow is set up at no cost. In place of payment: a written reference, permission to publish the case and two introductions. We are based in Boca Raton and work with churches across the United States; the language, the time zone and the paperwork are all the same conversation.
Questions before you start.
Can we talk in Russian or Ukrainian?
Yes — calls, email and every document. The site itself is available in Russian so you can read what you are buying before we speak.
Are you a church, or a company?
A company. Natalie serves as a volunteer at a church in Boca Raton and built its system; NONPROFIT.SYSTEMS is her commercial work, and donations to a church are never routed through us.
We are outside Florida. Does that matter?
No. The work is remote, and a system does not care which state it runs in. The only local part is the free help with Florida nonprofit associations, which we mention only where it applies.
Our website is a WordPress site nobody can log into.
That is a common starting point. We can rebuild on a system your team can actually run, move what is worth keeping, and redirect the old addresses so existing links and search results do not break.
Do you work with Slavic churches of any denomination?
Yes. The system deals with queues, children, giving and reporting. Which union you belong to never comes into it.
Twenty minutes, in Russian, Ukrainian or English. No obligation, and no pressure to buy a system you do not need.
