How can I encourage my congregation to use our church website?

Consistently funnel all ministry updates, event sign-ups, and sermon archives through the website rather than scattering them across various social media platforms.

What is the biggest barrier to church website adoption?

The biggest barrier is often a lack of perceived value; if members can get information via verbal announcements or Facebook, they won't feel the need to visit your site.

What is the goal of a church website in terms of member engagement?

The goal is to create a digital habit where members view the church website as their primary resource for staying connected to the body of believers.
