Developing your website

Screen with website on next to plantYour website could be one of the greatest evangelism tools you own and has the potential to reach hundreds, even thousands, of people who do not go to your church yet. The internet is seamlessly interwoven in today’s society and is one of the main ways in which people find a new church when moving into a new area.


Who are your visitors?

One essential element to think about in the creation or editing process of any website is the audience/user. Some common users are:

  • Members of the church
  • Christians moving into the area
  • Local non-Christians

These audiences all have different requirements, for example using religious terms will mean little to local non-Christians and Christians moving into the area won’t necessarily want to see a comprehensive list of who does the flowers or welcomes newcomers. Always consider how best to serve your audience.

It can be helpful to think of your website as the virtual window into your church and a powerful tool to help your church to grow!
