What should a church website have? Ideas and examples
A good church website answers a visitor's first questions in seconds (when, where, how to join online) and gives members a reason to come back: the daily word, the live broadcast, giving and prayer requests. Design matters less than being up to date.
The essentials
- When and where: every service and meeting, in the visitor's own time zone, with directions.
- Join online: one tap to the live broadcast, Zoom or Meet.
- Give: tithes and offerings in a few taps.
- Prayer requests and a way to say "I gave my life to Christ".
- Plan your visit: what to expect, so a newcomer feels welcome.
- The pastor and the vision, with a face and a name.
What keeps members coming back
The daily word or devotional, posted on schedule; announcements; testimonies; replays of services; and reminders before each meeting.
