Why Every Church Needs a Website

SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

70% of people research churches online before visiting.

If your church has no website, you are invisible to them.

Go into all the world and preach the gospel - Matthew 28:19

Today, all the world is online. Your website is your digital front door - the first place people encounter your church.

No website = No visitors.

1. Our people already know where we are

But visitors do not. Families moving to your area. College students looking for a church home. People searching for hope on Sunday morning.

They will never find you.

2. We cannot afford it

Can you afford NOT to reach people? A basic church website costs less than one month of utilities. That is stewardship, not expense.

3. We are not tech-savvy

You do not have to be. Your members use Facebook. They can update a church website. Or hire someone who can.

Keep it simple. Every church website needs:

1. Service Times - When do you meet? Update this if it changes.

2. Clear Address with Map - Make it easy to find you. Google Maps embed works great.

3. What to Expect - First-timers are nervous. Tell them: casual dress? formal? kids programs? parking?

4. Pastor Welcome Video - 60 seconds. Hi, I am Pastor John. We would love to have you. See you Sunday.

5. Online Giving - Biblical stewardship made easy. People want to give. Make it simple.

Church A: No website. Declining attendance. Visitors: 2-3 per month.

Church B: Simple 5-page website. Service times, map, welcome video. Visitors: 15-20 per month.

Same city. Same size. Different reach.

How will they hear without someone preaching to them? - Romans 10:14

Your website preaches 24/7. To people searching for hope. For community. For God.

Every day without a website, you miss opportunities to reach the lost.

In His Service,
