Church Web Sites That Reach Out Effectively

What happens when a church creates a Web site with just its members in mind? Only the members read it! But what is the result when a church has a site specifically designed to reach outsiders, in user-friendly language that connects with their lives? One church webmaster who uses these principles says that, week in and week out, more visitors turn up at his church on a Sunday because of the Web site than anything else. Review these 70+ tips for effective church sites.

The Ragamuffin Group believes that the Web is no longer just a Western toy. It has become a medium for outreach to unreached people around the world, including the 10-40 Window. There is a big need to create evangelistic sites to target these people in an effective and contextualized way, in both English and other languages. This is an opportunity for individual Christians and Christian organizations to reach people in our world though the Web and email contacts.

Please pray for The Ragamuffin Group that we can be effective in Web outreach.
