What Makes a Good Church Web Ministry (Part 2)
Posted on April 9th, 2009 5 commentsWe could discuss paradigms of effective communication in the Internet Age all day long and it won’t give any church an increased ability to do ministry online more effectively. It might be best to look at some examples and then maybe pull back and see why what works, works. I think that this is might be more effective because of what I call the People/Code Dilemma.

10 Ways that Churches can Improve Communication
Posted on April 8th, 2009 1 comment
It seems that the Information Age has been one of the most aptly named epochs in history. The popular meme may be true, that the average American accesses more information every day than was accessed by our grandparents in their entire lifetimes.

The advent of the Internet has done nothing but make matters worse.

They have a site that includes some information about the church. This is so that people who find the site will know what time the service is, how to get there, and maybe some info about how to dress and etc. This paradigm looks at the site as a thing, sort of like a yellow-pages ad (really bad idea!) or a billboard on the freeway (in most cases an even worse idea). It is a thing that displays information.

Posted on March 30th, 2009 No commentsI had an interesting day at church today.
