Frequently Asked Questions

    Even if you feel like you're managing well without a digital presence, there are several benefits to consider:

    1. Broader Reach: A website allows you to reach people beyond your local community. It's a way to connect with those who may be searching for spiritual guidance or a new church home.

    2. Accessibility: Information about your church (service times, events, contact details) is available 24/7. This is especially helpful for new members or visitors who want to learn more about your church before attending.

    3. Engagement: A digital presence provides more opportunities to engage with your congregation through blogs, newsletters, event updates, and social media.

    4. Transparency: It allows potential visitors to get a feel for your church’s values, mission, and community activities, which can make them more comfortable with the idea of attending.

    5. Resource Sharing: Share sermons, devotionals, and other resources easily with your congregation and the wider community.

  • A website alone doesn't guarantee visitors, but it makes your church discoverable when people are actively searching. Think of it as your church's digital front door - it needs to be there when someone is looking. Consider these numbers: 97% of people search online for local organizations, including churches, before visiting in person. Without a website, you're missing these potential connections.

    However, success comes from doing three key things:

    1. Making sure your website shows up in local searches (through basic SEO)

    2. Keeping your information current (service times, location, what to expect)

    3. Making it mobile-friendly (over 60% of searches happen on phones)

  • The number of visitors to your website before they decide to attend in person can vary widely. However, studies and surveys have shown that a significant number of people do research online before making decisions about where to go, including for church visits. Here are some relevant points:

    1. First Impressions: Your website often serves as the first impression for potential visitors. A well-designed, informative website can encourage them to visit in person.

    2. Convenience: People look online to find service times, learn about events, and get directions. Ensuring this information is readily available can make their decision to visit much easier.

    3. Trust and Credibility: An updated and well-maintained website can help build trust and credibility. People may be more likely to visit your church if they see it has an active, engaged online presence.

    4. Search Engine Optimization (SEO): If your website is optimized for search engines, people searching for churches in your area are more likely to find you.

    While exact statistics can vary, surveys indicate that many church visitors first learn about the church online. Having a strong digital presence can significantly enhance your outreach and community engagement efforts.
