Is possible to switch my google site website to WordPress without building the website from scratch?

The site I need help with is takeariskministries.wordpress.com.

Hi there,

That depends on what exactly you mean by a Google site. Is it a site hosted by Google, but built using a CMS like the open source WordPress software, or some other system? Or is it a hard-coded static HTML site?

If the latter, then copy-pasting everything from that site to new posts and pages on a WordPress site is your only option. If the former, you should be able to export your content in a format that can be imported to WordPress.com:

https://transferto.wordpress.com/

P.S., note that you’ll only be able to export/migrate your content. You won’t be able to export your design, but instead will have to pick a WordPress theme for your new site, and then customize that theme to look how you want it to.

@walkinourflipflops, there is only one WordPress.com site under your account.
