Thousands visit, offer prayers, watch videos on the new Episcopal Church website

Diocesan News & Publications

On December 28th the Episcopal Church launched their newly redesigned website, //www.episcopalchurch.org/. Since then more than 55,000 viewers have visited more than 84,000 times. 

The new experiential website is more welcoming, eye-appealing, and easy-to-navigate. Home page features include: What we believe; What we do; Who we are; Ministries; Multimedia; and Calendar. Within the website new features are also available including: Prayer for the day; Worship; Prayers of the people; Find a church; and Social media.

Daily dozens of readers submit prayer requests in the Prayers of the people section knowing that a community is praying for and with them. 

If your congregation has not done so yet, check out your parish's information in the Find a church section, and make sure that all church information is up-to-date. This small step is incredibly important since that page is the top visited out of the entire website. Anne Rudig, Episcopal Church Director of Communication, stated "Keeping church information updated on the website is an important evangelism tool" and "we invite all churches to check their listing."

One of the most exciting new features and opportunities to broadcast local mission in action is for dioceses, congregations, provinces, and people like you to post videos and photos. 

The website is available in both English and Spanish.
