Designing an Implementation Plan What are the dates and times? What is the location: physical/facility and/or
online/website? What are the implementation steps and target
dates (timeline) for completing each step. What resources will you need to implement
the initiative. How much will the initiative cost? How many leaders will you need to implement
the initiative, how you will find them, and how you will prepare them?

…evangelism is anything you say or do to help another person move into closer relationship
with God, or into Christian community. (George Hunter III)
The heart of evangelism is having an alive
relationship with God, being part of a church you love, and caring that people outside the
church find what you’ve discovered. (Martha Grace Reese)
Evangelism is to cooperate with the Holy Spirit
and others to bring one person one step closer to Christ.
(Evangelical Covenant Church)

Parish Website: Planning Checklist
Who is the audience? Planning—visit other sites. Reflect on what you are: what are your core values and
how do you want to say that? Define a reasonable scope and get buy-in from stake-
holders in the congregation. Do an easy survey of your audience—what are they
looking for, what do they expect? Decide on the types of content to include (+ graphics). Map out your basic navigation (7 buckets is about all a
person can digest). Pick the technology or platform. Create the design. Build your content . Release the site.
