This is a helpful website with a lot of free information on church growth and church growth ideas. They also offer very reasonable church growth consulting services. The following is taken from the Church Growth Consulting site:

This site was born out of my passion to share with pastors some ideas for helping to grow the church. You can find a wealth of ideas about church growth by reading through the articles on Church Growth | Software and Consulting. You can read about how to set up a web ministry or church website. You can read about servant evangelism projects. You can read about how to think through the process of helping your church to grow. I have spent my ministry figuring out how to do things that people said couldn’t be done. Your church is to small to do that. You need to wait until you have more money or more people or more this or that. It seems to me that there is a scripture that says “With God, all things are possible.” I like to think of this site as Church Consulting for pastors and churches that really can’t afford it. To that end, you will find a wealth of information for free on this site. If you need a little extra help I can help you to work through a lot of issues over the phone. Go to the Church Growth Consulting page and read about the service we provide. We can help you think through a lot of different areas of ministry. Below is a partial list:

• The Advantages of Multiple Services (even for small churches)
• Church Planting (Starting a church)
• Pastor Transition (Good and Bad)
• Servant Evangelism / Outreach Ideas
• Short Term Mission Trips
• Affinity Groups
• Small Groups
• Raising Up and Training Future Leaders
• Internet Ministry
• Internet Radio Station
• Video Venues
• Prayer and Ministry Team Training
• Pastor to Pastor Mentoring / Encouragement / Prayer
• Recovery Ministry

Feel free to contact me with any questions. I always try to answer as many questions as I can by email and of course for free. I look forward to hearing from you. I hope you enjoy Church Growth Consulting and encourage you to sign up for the free RSS feed or email subscription.

The Evangelism Software site provides information on how to start a Christian blog. We are including information from the site below:

The Internet provides us with an amazing opportunity to spread the Good News of Jesus. Particularly with the explosion of the blogosphere in the last few years. WikiPedia defines the blogosphere this way: “Blogosphere is a collective term encompassing all blogs and their interconnections. It is the perception that blogs exist together as a connected community (or as a collection of connected communities) or as a social network.”

There is an amazing harvest field that has opened up in the event of the blogosphere. Opportunities abound for Christians to forge relationships with people all over the world. It is my conviction that we can take the software available for creating and writing blogs and use it very effectively for evangelism and ministry. That is the goal of this Evangelism Software | Start a Christian Blog site. This blog will help you to create your own blogs to share your faith and build relationships with people all over the world.

Evangelism Software

We will utilize several different available options to help you create a blog to reach out to and encourage other believers all over the world. We will demonstrate a couple of ways to start a blog absolutely free. We will also show you how to spend a few dollars to to get a domain name and have your blog hosted by a web host in case you would like to utilize the blog to perhaps help support your ministry.

We will also talk about how to use the same software to create blogs to reach out to unbelievers. We need to have blogs that aren’t preachy but instead build some real relationships over topics that we are interested in and then share our faith in simple ways as the opportunities arise.

By taking a short time two or three days a week you can develop a very effective Internet ministry and Evangelism outreach. I would invite you to visit a couple of my blogs as an example of what I am talking about. Check out God’sDaytimer.com to see an example of a Ministry oriented blog. Then check out MyNewbieBlog.com to see an example of an Evangelism oriented blog. I will be utilizing some of the articles I have written on MyNewbieBlog to help you start your own blogs.

We look forward to laboring with you to to impact our world for the Kingdom of God.

Starting and maintaining a good blog can be very helpful in growing your church. A solid Internet presence will attract new visitors. We have included the RSS feed on the right hand site of the site so that you can click on the latest articles.

“The Church Web Master is here to help churches with their web ministries and church websites. The Internet offers a huge ministry field and yet some churches have not yet moved into the ministry because of a lack of expertise or people power. That’s where Church Web Master steps in. We offer a wide range of services and plans to help your church get involved in this exciting area of ministry. We look forward to laboring with you in the future to advance the Kingdom of God and hope that you will consider us your Church Web Master Online!”

Not only does the site provide a lot of information for potential church webmasters, it also offers some very reasonable services for setting up and even maintaining church websites. People who are searching for churches today use the Internet. You need to have an Internet presence!

From the website:

On Web Ministry Online we are developing a number of Web Ministries for sale. These Web Ministries, which we will customize to fit your ministry needs, will have a huge advantage because they will already have some age on the Internet. This will cause them to show up on search engines far more rapidly than starting from scratch. This will will allow you to have an almost immediate impact on the Internet for the Kingdom of God.

Web Ministry also writes articles about the process of starting and running your own web ministries.

The site describes itself this way:

The Church Planting site is here to help you work through the process of planting a church. You can read articles from other church planters, those who have been through it and those who are going through it. We hope to encourage you along the way as you go through the process of planting a church. We look forward to laboring with you in advancing the Kingdom of God.

To be able to read the latest articles from other Church Planting sites you will need to go and visit the site.

The site also includes a variety of teaching videos designed for the cell/small group meeting. Each video lesson is about 25 minutes long and there are also notes available for each lesson. This takes away a lot of the preparation time which is often required to teach at a cell group. The video teaching can be used and then the facilitator of the group needs only to structure the prayer and fellowship times.
