A website is a great way to build community within your church and evangelize to those outside it. It acts as a hub
of church information and invites both members and non-members to get involved in church events and services.
Today most new families use the internet to search for a church in their local area. Therefore an attractive and
up-to-date website is a must to 21st century churches.
Every church needs to be visible. Every church needs to communicate. A website is the perfect way to do
both. It offers constant visibility on the world wide web, enabling anyone in the world to view your site and
see what you as a church are doing. It is also is a golden communication tool. The internet is mainly
information, searched for and read by online users. That makes it a primary way to spread the Gospel
via online audio sermons and belief statements.
Imagine a church that is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to minister to people and spread the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. A website can be just that. It is online, accessable, and available 24/7. So even
while you sleep, your good works continue.
As the Modern Information Age gives way to the Post-Modern Media Age, websites and online media are
becoming increasing more important. They have become the expected and the norm for most businesses,
organizations, groups, and even individuals. In order to stay relevant to the media-soaked generations,
churches must take advantage of the benefits these technologies offer.
Staying connected to your community is vital to it's continued health and growth. From discipling to sending, knowing
where your people are at helps you to assist them in getting where God is taking them. With a website, you can keep
that connection constant. From online notes from the pastor to e-newsletters the web offers many ways to connect
with your community on a greater basis than just a Sunday morning.
