Nothing like going to a church's website and seeing the upcoming events from 2009. This is normally the result of loosing touch with the person who created the site. I really like to see as many people as possible adding content to the site. So if one looses interest the site doesn't die. And we're always looking for ways to get teens involved. Get a few of them involved with the website.

I think part of the challenge comes in getting people used to checking the website for updated information. But it can be so useful. Imagine the scenario where an event is scheduled but gets cancelled the day before. If people are used to checking the website, all you would need to do is put up a note saying it had been cancelled. Sure, an email can be sent out to the members, but if it's an event that other people who don't attend your church would come to, there would be no other way to let them know.

A website has great possibilities for a church to make their life simpler and reach others in a way they never could before.

One of the biggest problems with church websites in my experience is getting all the key players on board in the long run. Lots of leadership teams are happy to get a new website and be involved in the process.

This all fizzles out however three months down the line when it all gets lost in a multitude of other things – they forget to mention the website, emails sent from the website get unanswered, leaders are sending emails from non-branded email addresses.

A lot of the effort of making a church website work is spent on gently reminding people and keeping them on message regarding the value of the website.
