Excuse Me, Sir? Your Website is Showing.

I recently “un-attended” the ChurchTechCamp Dallas “un-conference” (#CTCDallas on Twitter) and came across this little gem in the message boards: “For 20 years, incoming students at DTS (Dallas Theological Seminary) reported that the #1 reason they come to DTS is the influence of a pastor. In 2008, the new #1 reason was that they like the website. If our future leaders choose seminaries on the basis of websites, certainly our congregants are doing the same.” Yeesh–that’s telling. The question you/your ministry/your organization needs to ask is, “What does our website say about us?”

    Good thought, websites are becoming more critical by the day it seems. We must find a balance of how we budget our attention with web and physical contact.
