"churches haven't entered the digital age" i totally agree that we need to keep the unchurched in mind. Have been working on my site and trying to include some important factors – sermons, videos, information for the new. any suggestions would be appreciated. http// :www.crosspointechurch.tv

Having the media friendly website not only attracts the church members but also the people who live outside the vicinity or city.

It has to be filled with true-stories, testimonials, and maybe videos. We should pray-over the site, and its main function. The designer must be a Christian to, for him to understand and believe that what he is doing is for Christ.

Many people are searching but might not come to your church as easily as they would your website. At the website they could be drawn to the Savior through Scripture and testimonies.

Hey Sage, I think you're right that there is a certain segment of non-Christians who will never go looking for a church website. But I also think there are people who may have experienced God in church, perhaps as a child, who are seeking God and think going to a church is a good start.

A church's website can also be helpful for its members who want to invite their non-Christian friends. Those friends can check out the church's site and if its designed with the unchurched in mind, it might make them more comfortable checking out a worship service.

We have to ask ourselves if the goal is to get people in our doors or win them to Christ? Granted they often go hand in hand, and discipleship is a big part of evangelism, but what is the likelihood of a pre-Christian going to churches website and deciding to go visit? Wouldn't it be more likely that they would only go to the website once that person had a face to face encounter with someone first? That being the case, wouldn't the information provided be different?
