Mastering the Web for mission and ministry

You've decided you want to shout the good news from your doorstep "to the ends of the earth" — but how do you use the Internet to do that for your congregation? You know the World Wide Web can support your congregation's mission and ministry, but how?

"As our reliance on the Internet grows, a congregational Web site can be a powerful tool for growth and evangelism," said Brad Lyons, Disciples Division of Higher Education communication director. "Web sites can be the first impression a potential visitor gets of a church, so having a good site that represents the church is crucial."

We're here to help. Below are links to a number of resources that can help you effectively utilize the Internet for your congregation.
