Lab Exercise #2

The website we chose for the exercise was for the church First Baptist McKinney in McKinney, Tx. From the home page alone, one can see the many features that are accessible.

Some of the features/services include: watching the services live and podcasts, sermon notes, an online newsletter, online donation options, activies/upcoming events, counseling, divorce counseling, grief share, prayergroup, family activies such as athletic leagues, youth athletic leagues, various ministries such as a Cancer Ministry, Men's Ministry, Prison's ministry.

The functions/services offered by the church online allow users to become more involved. It is easier to connect with the church outside of the actual building. Concerning control, you can choose what you and your family will become active in.

Many small churches don't offer online services. Most comunication is done through a bulletin, passed out weekly at mass. It is easy to miss opportunities to become involved in smaller churches. Because First Baptist McKinney is a large church, all information included on the website allows people to research their interests and find the right person they need to talk to.

Group Members: Kasey Boykin, Vanchelsa Sandoval, Kallie Gallagher

The website for the church is www.fbcmckinney.com
