Weekly interaction outside the ministry may be the most important way to build a sense of fellowship in the ministry.  Ministry websites make it possible for all members to connect with one another between services.  Also, members are more likely to contact the pastor and develop a closer connection when they can communicate through a message board or a private message.

 

 

Without ministry websites, how can members communicate with one another outside the church?  Each year, more people use devices such as smartphones and tablets to stay connected while on the go.  After a service, there may be times where members want to ask advice from the pastor, but the pastor is busy.

 

A ministry website allows any member to interact with the pastor as they can send a message and the pastor will reply without waiting until the next service.  Not only does this improve interaction but it makes each member feel as though they are part of the church.  When members feel this way, they are more likely to get involved in the church on a consistent basis and attend services every week.

 

Members may also get involved on the message board of the ministry website by offering advice to others or asking questions.  Both are great ways to improve interaction among members as they engage others to share their opinion.  Do ministry websites offer ways for you to interact?

 

 

Additionally, the pastor could use the ministry website to post updates to the congregation or to post a re-cap of the sermon.  Aside from that, there are times when volunteers may be needed for a special event.  Often, members see announcements posted to the website and volunteer their time.  Time spent volunteering supports member interaction and gives members an opportunity to form bonds outside the ministry!
