Thanks for the gracious comments, Mary. I’ll have to stop by MInTheGap and make sure that I thank him for the link.

I think that a lot of what you can do depends on how many people you have in your membership and how often they are online. In a big congregation I could see a forum working well– and prayer requests could work as long as you have some security. You always have the problem of forum moderation, but as long as you have caring individuals to serve in this way it can be done.

Nothing will replace actually visiting the church, seeing the people, and hearing the pastor, but a church website is a good first step.

Found you through MInTheGap’s website and wanted to thank you for making this a ministry! What a great need you’ll fill. I’m so grateful for my own church website, as a member I can easily access praise and prayer request forums, I can check the calendar to see when my next turn at Children’s Story or nursery duty is…plus we have live feeds of news important to our Christianity in this culture.

I agree it is so important, whether you are church hunting locally, or moving to a new town…if you can get an in-depth look at a church it really cuts down on all the church shopping one has to do. You can easily get discouraged when weeks turn into months and you haven’t found the right “church” yet. I’d think websites would really narrow that search beneficially.

God bless as you expand your business for Him!
