How Effective is Your Church's Website?

Monday, November 28, 2022 | Guest: Chris Pennington |

Topics: Reaching Your Community, Resources for Churches

Visitors often check out a church's website before ever walking through its doors. Are you using this online tool effectively? How can you communicate your church's vision to reach people for Christ and engage believers and unbelievers alike? In this podcast, Marshall Fant discusses this topic with Chris Pennington, assistant pastor at Fellowship Bible Church in Liberty, UT, where he has served for six years. He has helped develop the Sego Lily Foundation app to help believers reach LDS people.

Two tools that can provide you with additional information on how search engines view your site are:
