ChurchNet is a group of volunteers dedicated to using technology to distribute information about individual congregations. Internet service and presence providers are multiplying across the country and around the world. The major online services are throwing millions of users into cyberspace as well. However, an extensive search of the Web will lead you to only a handful of churches.
Congregations are vital small communities within the context of larger communities and societies.
And with every conceivable group swarming to the Web, we felt it was a natural progression to do what we could the ensure an equal voice for religious institutions so common in all of our neighborhoods. First, we have experience with Web publishing and Internet system administration. Secondly, while many churches are far from technophobic, few have the resources available to get wired. And even though the Internet becomes easier to use by the day, actually becoming an information provider can be a challenge both technically and financially, especially when your organization simply wishes to create a simple Web page. And finally, we felt it was important to provide a singular place to focus all these efforts.
