Why Have A Church Website?

by Carlfred Giles on April 9, 2010

Strong churches realize the value of communication. This includes communication between staff, members, volunteer leaders, attendees, and future visitors. As good stewards of the annual budget, many ministries look carefully at how they are spending their money in categories such as IT, marketing/communications, advertising, and even printing and postage.

A Double Benefit
A website provides a double benefit. First, it helps to streamline and reduce your costs in key areas:

• Lower printing costs
• Less spent on postage
• More strategic use of advertising
• Lower CPM (an advertising metric, used to measure the cost of reaching each potential visitor)

Beyond the financial justification for having a website, consider several direct benefits to your ministry:

• More targeted and strategic use of advertising
• Streamlined communications with congregation
• Increased appeal to younger demographics
• Additional capabilities to support curriculum, teaching series, and audio/visual resources

More than Just a Website
With Child of God Minstry Concepts, you can reach new people, in new ways.  You'll have a spectacular website to showcase your church, communicate your message, and provide resources to your community.  Many people these days will turn to the Internet when seeking out a church, even before they look in the yellow pages!  Furthermore, your young kids and adults will expect to see you online, providing the things that most church attendees have come to expect:  basic church information, information about upcoming events, downloadable sermon audio, a place to learn about ministry opportunities, etc.
