Neue or New?!
Neue or “new” as it is pronounced, is essentially a ministry wellspring of articles, ideas, highs & lows, and pastors collaborating on how to keep this “movement” going. Many have asked the question of how to be a leader/pastor and serve God and keep your relationship with Him on the up and up? How do I not get “burned out?”
Well the friendly people over at Relevant decided to give a forum for those questions and more. Check out NeueMinistry.com and you won’t be disappointed.

Slave trade in our world effects over 2.2 million children. I’ve watched the documentaries and news shows covering the injustice, but have not been moved enough to act. Until now.
My wife and I have been downsizing our lifestyle to help those in need. Those who cannot help themselves. I stumbled upon this new film during a late night of researching how our family can get more involved. I encourage you to do the same. From our comfortable American abundance we can help change lives.

Typography Is An Art
Design is everything. It’s what draws the eye, sparks the imagination, creates buzz, stirs conversation, and ultimately tells a story. Been thinking a lot about how design impacts our church culture.
What type of design are you pumping out?
One Hour…

21 Factors for Church Websites
We are looking at our website and how the design just doesn’t flow the way we dreamed it. It’s time to reThink EVERYTHING. While thinking about this, I found a great article. Dropped a couple of the 21 ideas below. To read the full article, click here.
1. Load Time – Most of us are very impatient and slow loading pages will not make us want to return. On the other hand, pages that load quickly will encourage visitors to navigate through your site knowing that they won’t have to wait very long for each page to load.
2. Error Messages – If new visitors to your site are getting error messages and are unable to access your site, they’re not going to be impressed and they won’t be back. There are a number of different errors that can occur. BlogStorm recently published an article Why Businesses Need a Website that Works, which takes a look at one unsuccessful website with an obvious problem.
3. Colors – The look of your site will obviously be a factor in your visitors’ first impressions. The colors of your website can have a huge impact on the overall attractiveness of the site. Choosing the right color combinations can be difficult, but fortunately there are a number of online tools that can help. For a list of resources and links to some articles on the psychology of colors, see Find the Perfect Colors for Your Website.
4. Logo/Branding – Another factor in the overall look of your website is the logo and branding. Most importantly, the logo should help to brand your business in the way that you want visitors and customers to think of you. For more information, see What Makes a Great Logo? from David Airey.
