2.  More Ministry Examples

Let me take you on a tour of some other websites that have features you may like to incorporate into your own.

These first two are not necessarily big-name ministries, but they have nice websites that show some of the things a church can do to meet people's needs on the Internet.

Here's a website for a church called Gateway Church in Herndon, Virginia: gatewaychurch.org.  Take a look at the menus and layout of the site.  What I like about their site is that they've organized the material to address visitor's needs up front.  

You can read the gospel, sermon notes, and get suggested Bible readings each day.  Whatever type of person you may be, a believer, a seeker, someone wanting directions, you can get to the information that affects you all on the home page.  

Here's a note worth pointing out...some people talk more about their churches organizational structure on the home page than about the gospel.  Put the gospel up front.  Talk about loneliness, hurt, depression, sex, or other topics where people live and they're more likely to come in and hear what you have to say.  Your website may be the only contact with the gospel some people ever get, so make sure it's up front.

Here's another church site for the Pacific Hills Church in Aliso Viejo, California: pacifichills.org.  Using the same RealPlayer that other sites use, you can tune in to their live broadcasts or hear any of their recent broadcasts.
