Digital Ministry Coaching
In our 90-day coaching program, we help churches develop a solid process to handle their digital presence and attract more members without tech overwhelm.
Through weekly webinars and worksheets, we help pastors and/or church staff as they build their website to properly reflect their congregation. We help them create a user-friendly website and messaging that speaks to their current and could-be members.
Social & Email Engagement
We work with organizations to develop and implement a social media and email strategy to engage with their congregation and community. In this is a rapidly changing arena – it is important to work with a partner who is up to date on the tools are as well as their most effective use. We understand the tools and best practices. In the church environment, it is important that this activity is accomplished in such a way to be supportive of the local mission.

Web Development
We are a one-stop shop for all of your web-site needs. Whether it is a simple ‘refresh’ or a complete revamp – we have the experience and capability to handle the project. All of our websites are built using the WordPress platform. After doing the research, we have found that WordPress provides the best overall tools for design and maintainability of small to medium size websites. WordPress makes it easy to add the content to your site to keep the information up to date.
Because we build on WordPress, you can rest assured that as your congregational needs change and grow, your church’s web site can easily meet the new needs. Since WordPress is a standard web development platform, your site is not a one of a kind custom site – it grows and changes right along with your congregation.
The big differentiator you will find in working with Faith Growth is that while we have excellent technical abilities, we also have experience in serving on church staff or serving in church staff leadership positions. We understand the unique needs and challenges faced by the church and how digital media can be used to support the mission of the church.
