New Advance for Church Websites

Written by Tony Whittaker
Thursday, 17 January 2008
Churches can now receive a free customized 15-page report about their websites, enabling them to develop strategies to reach outsiders in their communities. And this year's international web outreach focus day - Internet Evangelism Day - will be used by churches around the world on Sunday 27 April 2008 "How can our church website help us reach out into our community?" Churches often find it difficult to know how to build sites that will engage with outsiders in their area. A new online tool has been released by Internet Evangelism Day, which provides churches with a free 15-page evaluation report. Users assess their own website by answering 55 simple questions in the tool questionnaire. Their customized report is immediately displayed online, ready to print or save. Its recommendations are tailored with specific practical suggestions, based on the questions that were ticked. View the design tool here: www.InternetEvangelismDay.com/design A church site which has been prioritized for non-Christian visitors can be remarkably effective in reaching the community. "Week in, week out, more visitors turn up at our church on a Sunday because of the website, than anything else," writes one growing church in London. Church leaders have welcomed this new resource: "Internet Evangelism Day has put together this brilliant church site design tool. Although it may highlight problem areas in your site, it does so with great tact!" - Rev Richard Bewes, former Rector of All Souls Church, Langham Place, London. "There is no silver bullet for a great ministry site. However, this checklist is an invaluable tool to identify critical areas for improvement. Every church should study this regularly and act on it!" - Gary McClure, LifeWay Ministries. This Evaluation Tool is just one of a range of pages at www.InternetEvangelismDay.com that help Christians learn to use the Web to reach the world. Internet Evangelism Day also encourages churches to hold a web awareness focus day on or near 27 April 2008, to explore this huge potential. Their site offers free downloads (PowerPoint, video clips, drama scripts and handouts) so that churches can create a custom program of any length from two minutes to an hour. "I am glad to commend Internet Evangelism Day," says Dr John Stott.
