Most time we focus on educating businesses on marketing to-dos, but totally forget our friends with religious organizations. Do you know that Your Church Needs a Website?
After the covid-19 pandemics, the need to stay online and worship effectively is now important more than ever. Few churches like Christ Embassy have taken full advantage of the digital sphere. They are well equipped and positioned digitally than any church in the country at the moment.
Now you need to have a website for your church and even have live streaming or webinar installed to host live worships on your website without waiting for social media platforms to enable you to go live.
have you ever asked yourself the question, what if the so-called social media platforms do not allow your service to be live-streamed because the way things are going now on the internet and some social media trying to put restrictions on anything concerning God and Jesus, you will agree with me that having your website where there are no restrictions is more important than ever?
