I hear it all the time, "But our Church already has a FaceBook page..."
If you'd like to grow your congregation, reach a broader audience and provide important information about your Church in an easy to find, organized way - then a customized website that reflects who you are is a must in today's digital world.
Your website provides a way for someone new to the area or Christianity, to find out relevant information about your church. Important information such as your location and Service times can be displayed in a way that's quick and easy for interested people to find.
Having your own website is like owning your own Church Building. Having a FaceBook page is like preaching in Town Square. What you do in your own building is up to you. Town Square has limitations and restrictions.

FINDABILITY: If someone is looking for a new Church to visit, chances are they're going to use Google. If you don't have a website, the interested person will most likely move on to the next Church that does.

ACCESSIBILITY: A website is accessible to everyone, not just FaceBook users. Trends point towards younger people moving away from FaceBook.
