New Page Helps Church Websites Reach Out Effectively

What happens when a church creates a website with just its members in mind? Only the members read it! But what is the result when a church has a site specifically designed to reach outsiders, in user-friendly language which connects with their lives?

“Week in, week out, more visitors turn up at our church on a Sunday because of the website, than anything else,” says one church webmaster, who uses these principles.

There are ways to build (or transform) a church site to achieve this effectiveness. A new page from the Internet Evangelism Day team – ‘70+ Tips for Effective Church Sites’:

demonstrates the potential. The wider website explains many other options for online outreach.

“The Internet is a tool of amazing power for outreach,” says the Internet Evangelism Day coordinator Tony Whittaker. “But we must learn how to use it effectively.”

Internet Evangelism Day www.InternetEvangelismDay.com was initiated by the Internet Evangelism Coalition, an umbrella organization of international evangelical Christian ministries involved in online outreach: www.webevangelism.net
It is supported by a wide range of denominations and ministries: www.InternetEvangelismDay.com/supporting.php

“We support and endorse it, and have syndicated this Church Tips page into our site,” says the team from www.InternetEvangelismDay.com.
