Searching church

Obox Signature Series

Does Size Matter?


"So, how many are you running?"

A question most church leaders and pastors are very familiar with. Put two pastors in a room by themselves, and this question will be asked within the first 47 seconds, guaranteed.

And the question will be answered. Followed by one pastor breathing a sigh of relief, while the other searches for a " but . . ."

If you're one of those searching for a "but . . ." take a look at this video by Skye Jethani, from the "The Nines" conference, an innovate online conference from September 2009.

Trust me, you need to watch.

LifePointe Church Website Stats for 2009

I jumped over to Google Analytics the other day to see how the LifePointe Church website did in 2009. Here's some of the interesting tidbits I gleamed from the statistics:

The LifePointe Church website was visited 2,531 times.
1,127 unique people visited.
A total of 9,264 pages were viewed.

43% of the visits were people visiting the website for the first time.
People spent an average of 3 minutes 8 seconds on the website per visit.
People from 21 different countries visited the website.

563 visits came here from google.com.
166 visits came here from robwestbrook.com.
150 visits came here from facebook.com.
68 visits came here from monroe360.com.

That's pretty strong from Facebook, considering we really began our push there only a few months ago. Monroe360 is the website of our local weekly paper, where we have a free ad running.

Outside of the home page, the top ten pages visited were:


Our videos seem to be gaining some steam as people watch our services online. And I think we need to re-fire the audio podcasts, since that page is in our top 10.

Very interesting numbers. What do you see that catches your eye?

ReThink Church This Sunday

This Sunday we're completing our ReThink Church series. We're finishing with our last C. The first C was "Celebrate" and the second C was "Connect". The last C is "Contribute." For me personally this has been our best series to date and the last C will be the best! You don't want to miss this Sunday.

And now I'm really excited about our next series starting October 4: Parenthood. What's the Bible say about being a parent? We'll find out Sunday, October 4. This is one series you want to invite as many parents to as you can. Use our invite cards and bring someone with you. Who are three parents you can invite today?

Social Media and Ministry

What's your church doing with Twitter or Facebook? Are you using these resources for building the Kingdom?

If you and your church are not leveraging all the tools the internet provides, you are going to get left behind. In a day when most people don't want you knocking on their door, you can now travel right into their living room.

Your family is there, your friends are there, your unreached neighbors are there, and most of your town in there. Are you there? Is your church there?

Nobody's going to press the rewind button. The world and its technology will continue to advance. We're called to reach the world. We have the tools. What's stopping you?

Sunday's Coming!

Less than 48 hours and LifePointe kicks off another Sunday morning service. Part 2 of "ReThink Church" is the series and "Connect" is the theme. The band has some hot songs ready to go. Don't miss it. We start at 10:30 am, but come a little early and help me drink some coffee and eat some doughnuts. See you Sunday!
