The Church and The Web
We've learned a few things over the years in developing our church websites.

Using Blogs In Ministry
A blog or "web log" is essentially an online diary and coversation pit all in one. Blogs have been around for nearly a decade but have grown into widespread popularity in the last 3-5 years.

Search Engines and Church Websites. Where does your church site rank when people go looking for it? Ditch the Yellow Pages and make your website the information location of choice for everyone.

The Elephant On Your Hard Drive
If you are involved in any way in your Information Technology (IT) ministry, you must be concerned with the issue of internet pornography. Statistically, we know that 60% of men professing to be Christ-followers view pornography at least "occasionally".

The Truth Is In the Data
Managing properly a church database is much more important than the specific system you use to run it.

How to Buy Technology
Shopping for computer hardware and software in ministry means a careful and considered balance between what you need and what you want.
