Connecting with new Canadians
August 26, 2009Gear-up for September
August 14, 2009A lot of people move over the summer and are seeking new connections in their new neighbourhood, including a church. Many search for churches on the Internet using Google. That makes your website the first contact many people have with your congregation. Is it up-to-date? It should include all the contact information, service times and a map. Simply type your address into Google Maps and it will generate a link you can put on your website.
And if people visit, likely the only piece of information they will take with them is a copy of your church bulletin. Make sure it speaks well of your church and includes all your contact information including the updated website address!
