10 Common Church Website Mistakes

6. No Email Addresses Listed

I understand not displaying your lead pastor’s email address on your website. Having email addresses that lead to actual people is a good thing, though. When the only contact info listed is a phone number and contact form, your website gives off the vibe that you don’t want people to contact you. By displaying contact emails for your staff, you are telling the potential guest that you want them to reach out to your church.

7. Not Enough Information

To make their website guest friendly, many churches go too far and make their website unfriendly for the current attenders. I was part of a church that did this and was on the team that made the decision to do it. We thought if we listed the information the potential guest needed, we could have our current attenders go to another website for current events. Looking back, we were obviously wrong about our decision. Your website must be focused on the potential guest but can’t forget your current attenders.
