Pastor’s Web Resources

Using the Web to help your church grow

Understanding the nature of the Web is an essential pre-requisite to using it effectively. How can the Web help your church?

Building effective websites

• Church Website Design Tool - this self-assessment questionnaire enables you to score your church website design online, and pinpoint areas of the design which could be developed in order to better relate to outsiders. A particular emphasis is the importance of testing the website. The page can be syndicated into any other website with a few lines of javascript insertion code, and it can also be freely published in print media.
• 70+ Church Website Tips - a page of 70+ tips which build on the principles explained in the self-assessment design tool. This page can also be inserted into any other website, or published in print media.
• Building church websites - more links of interest to pastors, with a wide range of church website resources including the very strategic white paper on church websites (PDF document).

Other evangelism options

There are many other ways of using the Web for outreach, either as official church projects, or else to empower individual church members in spare-time online evangelism from home. And there is one surprising factor: you do NOT need to be technical to do it!

Check the wide range of options that demonstrate to church pastors just what the Web offers to both churches and members.
