Church ministry online and offline
Some random but connected thoughts…
- Steve Kryger at Communicate Jesus blog, recently needed to phone a number of churches in his country. What a nightmare! Those who have attempted to email churches via their websites have found a similar picture.
- Changes to Facebook make it easier for churches or groups (rather than individuals) to have a Facebook presence. OurChurch has blogged about these developments.
- Craig von Buseck interviews Sterling Huston about digital evangelism here – one question discussed is that of having a web evangelism team within a church. Do you know of churches who already have such teams? Please share how these work, using the ‘comment’ link below.
- We now have a 2-page handout about digital evangelism, which can be used to print and distribute in a church, or can be republished (in whole or in part) in newsletters, blogs, magazines:

PDF version. - There are zillions of ways to build church sites. Increasing numbers of people are using WordPress. Originally designed for blogs, it lends itself well to other types of site, as Matt Cleave explains here. Other people like Drupal, as explained in this archived presentation, or Joomla.
- And, by the way, who’d want to be a pastor! So many end up leaving the ministry, as A Mending Shift reports.
- Best Child Check-in Practices is also a vital issue, in these troubled times.

News release
As a Pastor, I am forever reminded that as technology evolves, the church must also evolve if we are to be effective in our witness. The challenge for me is getting people in my community to live “out of the box” of comfort, familiar and convenience. It’s a different world from where we come from, and we now have greater opportunities to reach farther than our parents or grandparents ever could.
At Word4UTVNetwork we provide churches, ministries and individuals the opportunity to broadcast their messages to a dying global community one click at a time.
