According to one study, church attendance on a weekly basis is near 40% while other numbers suggest that only 22% of Americans attend weekly services.  Fortunately, there are many ways to boost those numbers but church websites have an extensive impact on the congregation.  Not only do church websites keep members of the church up-to-date but they also allow visitors to learn more about the church before attending a service.  What other advantages are there to having a church website?

 

 

The Internet continues to grow each year and more people use it to stay connected whether they use a tablet, laptop, or a smartphone.  People who have relocated to the area or are looking to attend a different church tend to search online first to find a church.  It makes all the difference when a new visitor finds the church website as they can learn what time services start and where the church is located.

 

A website that is user-friendly from all devices also increases the likelihood for visitors to return and stay connected so they feel part of the congregation.  Additionally, members of the church can post what each service is about and include pictures or video so new members get an idea about the church.  Another advantage is for the pastor to inform the congregation of the latest news and ask the opinion of members if there are any changes necessary.

 

 

The closeness of staying in contact with other members of the church through the church website promotes constant interaction.  Instead of taking days or weeks, members have the option of using their smartphone to view the latest about any changes in an instant.  Church websites not only connect members with one another but they also build the congregation by attracting new members to visit the church!
