"5 Best" Contest Winners
Thousands of church and ministry websites are running on ForMinistry Web Builder technology, and our "5 Best" Contest invited entries to see how different people were using our tools and tips. We received entries from around the United States and our judges worked diligently to carefully review each website entry.
We have finished compiling the scores, and we're happy to announce the contest winners. Congratulations! We hope these will be encouraging and inspiring to your online ministry!
 | Best Life-Impact Story First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Raton, NM www.ratondisciples.com" We are a small old church made up of senior citizens in a small old town. There is no way we could have a presence on the world wide web were it not for the expertise you so graciously provide. We chose to make our site an opportunity to preach salvation through Christ Jesus. Shortly after our site was functional, we received an email from some folks on the opposite side of the country saying they might move to our state and asking for information -- she was a Christian -- he was an "inquirer". They did move to our state, but not to our town. We maintained email contact with them and he has subsequently accepted Christ as his Saviour and Lord. Praise God! And, thank you ForMinistry!" -- Rev. Cleveland B. "Cleve" Bishop |

| Best Bible Engagement Site New Covenant Christian Church (Cleveland, OH) www.newcovenantcc.org |
| Best Reason to Support ForMinistry.com Brush Hill Baptist Church (Checotah, OK) " After moving from a medium size church, with ample funds to maintain a website, to a small rural church without available funds for a website, I was seeking a solution for our church. I discovered ForMinistry.com and signed up right away. The site was so easy to setup and I actually had it up and running in less than an hour. We use the site to keep our members informed of church activities and to help our community learn more about the church and our ministries. The response has been great. We have received several e-mail inquiries about our church from people in the community after they visited our website. We would not have the presence on the web without our ForMinistry website. Please visit our site at www.brushhillbaptist.org to see how you are helping us to ministry to the needs of our community." |
