In an age where the internet rules all, having a modern website for your church is a must.

A website can help you spread the word about upcoming services, events and bible studies. It can also be used as a platform to share stories from members of your congregation and give them a chance to get to know each other better. But that’s not all — it’s also an invaluable tool for evangelism.

Let’s take a closer look at 3 ways a modern church website can help your congregation.

Welcome Visitors

More and more people are turning to the internet to find churches in their local area.

According to recent studies, 81% of churchgoers say they found their church online and 72% of those surveyed said they were looking for specific information when they visited the site including service times, location and contact information. With this in mind, it’s essential that your church website is beautifully designed and easy to navigate so that potential new members can find what they need quickly and easily.

To make sure you’re giving visitors what they need, consider adding features like an interactive map that shows where your church is located, directions on how to get there, service times and contact information. You should also include pictures from past services or events so people have an idea of what it looks like inside your sanctuary or hall before attending for the first time. And don’t forget about blog posts! Having an active blog on your site will help keep people engaged by providing them with content about upcoming events or stories from members of your congregation that will inspire and uplift them during their visit.

Connect with Members

Your website also provides a great way to stay connected with existing members of your congregation.

You can use it as a platform to share upcoming events or resources that may be helpful for them, such as Bible study guides or prayer requests. It can also provide opportunities for members to donate online or sign up for events or classes you may be offering at the church. This helps to keep everyone informed and engaged in the life of the church without needing to be physically present all the time.

Increase Community Involvement

Finally, having an effective website can help increase community involvement.

How? By providing easy access to volunteer opportunities and other ways that individuals can get involved in local outreach efforts. This could include anything from collecting food donations for a local food bank or organizing activities for children at risk in your area – whatever suits best with the vision and mission of your church. By making these opportunities available on your website, you are more likely to attract volunteers who are passionate about helping others and making a difference in their community.
