We’ve slowly been souping up our rather basic church website over the past few months. The best thing we did was get our kind computer-literate friend to change it to a WordPress platform, which was familiar to us from blogging. The old site used Joomla and was just too difficult for us to get our heads around.
We try and update the site a couple of times a week to keep it live, and it seems that people are beginning to use it a little. Most of our congregation aren’t on the internet, but we think that the website is especially important for those who aren’t yet in church.
In our quest to make the site friendly and useful, a video of the Vicar has now been produced by Capable, a church member, and Compassion, who is a great friend of our congregation. I think they’ve done a great job and we’re hoping it’ll be a good introduction for people visiting the website. At least they won’t be surprised by the Vicar’s Scottish accent!

Lovely idea to have a video. I like the look of your church from what I see on the site!
Very smartly done. The Vicar isn’t quite how I pictured him, but so much the better.
How *did* you picture him Archer?! *alarmed face*
Aah, you’re beginning to become real people to us now!
Great video – I reckon if the vicar thing falls through there’s a career in tv calling…
The opening and closing music is somewhat reminiscent of an episode of Press Gang 🙂 Not that that’s a bad thing – hey, I named my second son ‘Dexter’ 😉
