Improve Search Ranking for your Church’s Website

I was introduced to a company that helps churches optimize their website and helps them place higher in search engines.  As a result of better search rankings (and a newly redesigned website last fall) some churches report seeing more new visitors to our church than ever before.  See Optimize Your Church’s Search Rankings Case Study page at Church Marketing Online.

In American culture, many would look online for information before they’d pick up a phone book, before they’d drive to the church on the corner.  If somebody was looking for a Presbyterian Church in Richmond — would your church’s website appear in the search Engine?  What might a visitor think of your church’s website?

Ministry Marketing Coach series

Chris Forbes of MinistryMarketingCoach.com (who has contributed a guest article here on ministry followup) wrote a great post about the our cooperative role in Evangelism.  We participate in the work the God is doing.

Some have made evangelism such a passive sport, thinking it will happen all its own.  Chris’ contention is that there is a role that the evangelist plays, like a farmer who has to nurture the soil, SO THAT the plant can grow.  Check out: We need people to witness

Baptists fret over Calvinism’s impact on missions and evangelism

Interesting Statistics about Reformed theology causing a problem in Baptist life.  Check out Tiptoe thru the TULIP.

Can Calvinist and non-Calvinist Baptists work and worship together?

It depends, some advocates of Reformed theology say, on whether Christians on both sides are willing to tiptoe through the TULIP — the acronym for five doctrinal specifics that mark Calvinism — without stomping on anyone’s flower bed.

PC USA Poised to Grow World Missions

I’m glad to see this article about PC USA Missions.

A proposed 2009-2010 General Assembly Mission Budget – which would increase the number of full-time, financially supported mission workers from the current 196 to 215 in 2009 and 220 in 2010 – was recently approved by the General Assembly Council (GAC).
