Many churches are waking up to the fact that their website can be the main point of contact for visitors to their church. Beyond that the internet is a also a great opportunity for Evangelism and there are many great evangelistic sites (An example is one I recently designed "What's Life About?" site, written by Trinity Baptist Church, Tenterden).
The Internet Evangelism Coalition (IEC) is promoting Internet Evangelism Day on 27th April. This is an opportunity for churches to focus on using the web as an evangelistic tool. More imporantly than the actual day, the site has lots of resources, testimonies and suggestions about how churches can make their websites more effective for outreach There are also some 70 tips for effective church websites. This is a very useful resource (although I would have some minor issues with some of their design advice) and prompts us to consider how can you make your church website more friendly to outsiders?
