Church Web Sites - by Paula Chapman

Have you ever been looking for a new church? Perhaps you ride by a building and think to yourself, "I wonder what that church is like?" Looking at a church web site can be the same way. You Surf into the site, to see what the church has to offer you. If the page does not portray itself in the right manner, you will leave that site just as clueless as you did when you got there.

Here are a few things in order of importance.
A. A nice picture of the Church. (Some people like Big Churches, some people like small churches and so on.) I prefer to add a picture of both the outside and inside.
B. The Doctrine of the Church. This will show how each church believes.
C. A plan of salvation. Because I believe every time someone comes to my page I can show them the plan of salvation, I do it. I want to sow as many seeds as I can. Many may surf into you page by mistake. That can be another seed sown and another soul to experience Gods saving Grace.
D. The Youth. Many families with Children look for a church to give the children the kind of activties they need and enjoy. Youth activities, upcoming events, etc.
E. Music-Music is a very important part of ministry. I have seen hardend men cry at the words to a song. It prepares the heart for the word of God.
F. Church activities- Although this shouldnt be the focus, it should be included. Show the fellowship of the members, the closeness and the love.
G. A picture of the Pastor and the Pastors family and a word from him. Everyone would like to know what the Pastor is like that will affect their life and help them to grow spiritually.
H. Contact Information.

I personally like to make the pages so that they can see what the church is like looking from the outside in.
