Hello friends, this is my first ever blog and I’ve chosen an unconventional topic considering I’m a Lead Pastor. One would think this blog would be some great insight into a particular passage of Scripture or biblical doctrine or prophecy, and the list goes on; but it’s not. I’ve chosen to share about our new and improved website and why we chose to step up our game in our online presence. But first, let me say how I’m proud and appreciative I am of those who have labored diligently to help our church in this endeavor, without them this would not have happened.

Change is never easy, but more often than not, it’s necessary. I’m from the Gen X world, I remember wall hung rotary phones and black & white TV’s. Used to be, if you needed to do research, then off to the local library you go or find a full volume of Encyclopedia Britannica, not anymore. So here we are, some of us fighting to retain some vestige of the past, others fully embracing everything this new technological frontier has provided. As a pastor and a church, we hope to utilize the best parts of the web to connect with and influence our church and community.

Let me start at the beginning. My wife and I began to pastor Boyette Springs Church of God in the fall of 2015 and one of the first goals was a website upgrade. Of course, as with all we attempt to do for God and His people, it was done with excellence and purpose; it was a great site. But times have changed, technology moved forward, and it seemed prudent for us to move with it. RELAUNCH!!!

We hope that our new website reflects the value we place on technology and the part it can play in our ability as a church to connect to as many people as possible. The purpose, as always, is to share the Good News of Jesus and inform our community as to who we are and what is happening at BSCOG. There are several new additions on our site, BLOGS are just one.

While there are similarities to the old, we hope that you will find in our upgraded platform a more visually appealing and functionally interactive site. Our desire is to provide a place where individuals and families will find resources, encouraging words, a clean and easy way to give, and a community of shared values. This is just the beginning, something we can build on.

Blessings in Christ!
