Improve Internal Communication

Some of the young people who attend your church are in need of more frequent contact with other believers. A single weekly gathering seemes to not be enough, but lack of transportation and differing schedules make additional meetings impractical. Through your church's online forum, they are able to post questions and comments via the youth group's message board, chat with youth leaders, or just keep up with Christian friends. This activity enhances their regular meetings and advances their spiritual growth.
Interactive web sites (web 2.0) allow both the web site owner and visitors to post content. Remember, users have limited access, until you allow greater input, based on the permissions you set. This allows for much more interaction which might culminate in:
• Developing curriculum
• An engaging book study
• Two-way dialogue (anonymously or not)
• Scheduling and organizing a church picnic or other activities
• Mid-week fellowship
Your web site can enable easy to use two-way communication which fosters fellowship, promotes discipleship, and increases accountability.
