School is in full swing. A chill is entering the air. Scarves and beanies are making their triumphant return to wardrobes around the country. Football is here. And everything (and we mean\u00a0everything<\/i>) is suddenly flavored with pumpkin! We all know what this means: fall is here!<\/p>\n
With everything around you changing this season, you don\u2019t want to forget to do the same for your church website!<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve heard of spring cleaning, right? Well, let us introduce you to the\u00a0fall overhaul!<\/strong><\/p>\n Let the changing of seasons be a signal to you to make some changes on your church website!<\/p>\n Big events. Major changes. New opportunities. Special projects. This season is packed full of awesome stuff in your ministry!\u00a0So it\u2019s imperative that you make sure it\u2019s all updated on your website before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n But where do you start?<\/p>\n Well, with so many new big things starting in the fall, here are just a few suggestions to help you get your church website fall-ready!<\/p>\n So many churches use the fall season as the kickoff for new small groups and Bible studies at your church. With school back in session and families settled into their routines, it\u2019s the perfect time for people to commit to a weekly discipleship gathering.<\/p>\n If you have new small groups or Bible studies for people to jump into this fall (or if it\u2019s simply a repeat of last fall), make sure that information is readily available on your website. Include things like dates, times, study materials, age ranges, and locations. Make sure people know how to locate the gathering that\u2019s best for them and their families. You can even include forms to sign-up online!<\/p>\n Now that school is back in session and extracurricular schedules are locked down, families are looking to your website to see what\u2019s on deck for their kids. Make sure that information is not only updated on both your children\u2019s ministry and student ministry pages, but also that it\u2019s easy to find. Include information not only about your weekly gatherings for each age range, but also any special events this season. Think weekend retreats, lock-ins, parent night outs, and more!<\/p>\n Let\u2019s be honest: The fall is really just the precursor to the holiday season, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n Once fall hits, the holidays are basically on! Is your church hosting\u2026<\/p>\n Whatever events your church hosts, it\u2019s important that you get that info onto your site plenty of time in advance! At the very least, add the dates to your church\u2019s online calendar so families can plan ahead.<\/p>\n Your church probably hosts seasonal-specific service and outreach opportunities. A great way to make sure people know about them is to share them on your website this fall.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re doing a school supply drive to partner with a local school, a Thanksgiving meal delivery, a Christmas project, or just a seasonal raking of local yards, post this information online. Not only will it let people know how they can help, it will also show people in the community what your church has planned to support them this season.<\/p>\n Finally, if your church has any big things on the horizon for the fall and beyond, now is the time to get that on your website\u2026<\/p>\n All of these are great to include on your site as you get ready for the fall!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Are you looking for some more insight on all things church websites?
