Can a website really help a church grow?
For many small congregations, a website is either outdated, underused, or nonexistent. But in an age where people Google everything—including where to worship—your church’s online presence can make a real difference.
Here’s the true story of a local church that saw 40% growth in Sunday attendance—all because they decided to refresh their website and simplify communication.
⛪ The Challenge: “We Were Invisible Online.”
Grace & Truth Fellowship in South Los Angeles had faithful members and loving leadership—but their online presence was nearly invisible. Their website hadn’t been updated in over five years, was not mobile-friendly, and had broken links to service times.
“We had people in our neighborhood who didn’t even know our church still met,” said Pastor Glenn.
