URL: http://www.mtziongrandy.org/
Initial thoughts
This just looks like a fun church. I love the pictures on the front and things seem to be pretty active. There's maybe a bit too much going on here, but I wouldn't get rid of much.

Church: St. Matthew's UMC - Fayetteville, NC
URL: http://www.stmattnc.org/
Initial thoughts

Church: First UMC - Siloam Springs, AR
URL: http://www.fumcss.com/
Initial thoughts
For the second site in a row, the first thing I see when I open the page is a big picture of the church building. I think this keeps happening because too many people consider their facility to be their ...

The first thing I see when I open the page is a big picture of the church building. No no no no no. Having your church building in some places on your site is fine, but not as the ...

Church: Mt. Healthy UMC - Cincinnati, OH
URL: http://www.mthealthyumc.org/

Church: First Untied Methodist Church - Dothan, Alabama
URL: http://www.fumcdothan.org/
I feel I should offer a disclaimer on this site before we start. I worked at this church for a few years (2002-2004) and did their website. It was decent at the time, but nothing too great. I had ...

Church: Hope Works - Fort Worth, Texas
URL: http://www.hopeworks.us/
Initial thoughts

First, check out their new site. It's beautiful. It's obvious they spent a long time planning the look and feel of it and they did a great job. Then they just chucked it up there without a care in the world about their exisiting pages.
