It's official! We are up and running. Live on the web - Bellwood's new website. It's awesome.
There are three reasons for a church to have a website (my reasons):
1. It's a great tool and resource for members to use. They can see what's happening with upcoming events, browse the bulletin and calendar, listen to the sermon that they might have missed, or connect with the larger church body.
2. Visitors or people new to the area can "Try before they buy". One of the first things I did before coming to Bellwood was to see if there was a website that would tell me about the congregation. People are shoppers and we "shop around" online for even a church. A website is a great way for people to check out a church because it is very non-threatening. No pressure to join, just kinda kick the tires and hopefully come for a test drive.
3. A website can used very effectively for outreach and evangelism. With the resources we have on our new site, we can encourage folks to get familiar with us but more importantly to get to know Jesus Christ. Sermons are available each week.
So - if you haven't already done so, check out the Bellwood Church website by clicking here:
