The future of the web site

** DRAFT **

Where do we hope to go with the web site in the future?

Well, there are lots of possibilities.  And you can help us to determine what they are.

Some things we plan to do are:

  • Include more media content in the site.  For example, we have added audio recordings of sermons that you can play back when you want.  We would like to add video content as well.  We might have video versions of sermons and services.  We might have video clips of staff members talking about themselves and their area of responsibility.
  • Include a membership directory.  We would like to provide an online directory for you so that you can see up-to-date information on our members and staff.  We would also like you to be able to change your information to let others know the latest.  What if you change your email address?  Today, you need to let the office know that it changed, and you also need to change it in your user account on the web site.  We would like to let you change it on the web site and we would take it from there.

    You might be concerned about the security of the information.  Since it is only accessible by those with user accounts on the web site, your information would only be available to those with accounts.  All information is stored in a database, so it can't be "found" by someone snooping around the web site.  We only give user accounts to people we know.  You must be a member or staff or regular attendee to have an account.

What else?  There are many possibilities.  We would really like your input on what you would find most valuable.  You can use the site contact page to let us know.  Where is it?  Look in the upper right of this window, and click on "Contact."  It's that easy.
