Hi Mia,

It is so heartening to hear such encouraging words from you. The world has changed so much that negatively and hostility has blinded us in most of our thing we do.

Thanks for the comment.

All I can say is : WOW ! I believe you have managed to cover just about every church out there ( and I wasnt even aware that God is now on the www ! :D ) but I guess there goes the old adage : " God is everywhere & speaks to us through various channels " - now why wouldnt God be on top of things and not be ' Online ' ( literally :D ) Thank you for posting all of these great sites ( have def bookmarked your site ) - you provide some amazing content ! Wishing you much future success within your life & career endeavors . Best wishes & many *blessings*

great designs there. but it seems strange in what direction the presentations are going. the pastors are presented like rockstars and some of the sites would fit for a techno club or rockconcert.

im an atheist and a little worried how big thoses communities get and the messages that they transport. there is some peace and love involved, yes. but most of them think they have the only truth and that all non-believers are wrong and will go to hell. thats dangerous thinking.

when i see how those people are screaming and acting like in trance, they might do anything that their rockstar pastor is telling them.

the designs are still good though :)

Thanks for showcasing our Canyon Creek Church in your list. We worked very hard on it, and considering that this was the first time this three-person team worked on the site, we're extremely proud of how God brought us together and helped us deliver a website our congregation can be proud of.

We're still working hard on the website, so any suggestions or constructive criticism is welcome!

Thanks Aidan : ) Re working with external designers: I think the important thing is to either have a really clear idea of what you want (having gone through the thinking-through/audience/message process I mentioned above) if you're working with a non-church background designer, or teaming up with someone who understands the particular needs and challenges which churches face when they're trying to communicate (that's not an oblique advert by the way!). Either way, stopping and thinking about what you're trying to do, what you want to communicate - and who to - is the big thing most organisations (including churches) DON'T do and should!
