Church Websites Are Needed… and Need Improving. Does Yours?

I believe the true front door of the church is now a church’s website.  Most people – and especially adults under 50 – will not visit a church until they first check it out on the web.  People do not check out the Yellow Pages anymore.  They Google.

If your church does not have a website, guests will not know what time your services are or what to expect, so they will probably just not come to your church.  If your church has a poor website, they may not come because of the poor first impression they receive from visiting your website.  

This week we look at the importance of churches having websites, the importance of having good websites, and how to go from good to great.

Your brother in Christ,
Ray
Pr. 3:5-6

Quotable Quote 
“If you are not present on the Internet, you simply do not exist, as far as anyone under thirty is concerned” Dr. Albert Mohler, The Conviction to Lead, p 177.
