More and more companies and organizations establish a presence on the World Wide Web every day. A good quality web site can be both an outreach and an inreach tool for your church. On the other hand, a badly done web site can send out the wrong message about your church. It always pays to have an objective in mind before undertaking a project, so know what you want to accomplish by having a Web site before you make the decision to proceed. A good church web site is like a newsletter and an advertisement all rolled into one.
Some people put up a site and never change the content.
Don't publish a site unless you are going to do frequent updates to it. Having your own Internet server is beyond the financial and technical means of virtually every church, so you will need to find a hosting service. A good host service will also guide you through the process of choosing and registering of a domain name for your site. The World Wide Web is hot, it is trendy and all things considered it is not terribly expensive. But as with all that we do, we should examine our motivation carefully.
