Interview: Drew Goodmanson

18 Jun 2009

Drew Goodmanson (CEO of Monk Development) was interviewed prior to his speaking at the Echo Church Media Conference.  Here is a exerpt:

ECHO: Tell us a little bit about the State of the Church Online project.
DG: The State of the Church Online project was created to answer the question “What are the best practices for churches online?” In order to answer this question we are five months into our research and are beginning to document the findings. There are two areas of focus, the first is a church’s website and the second is the church’s social media engagement with sites such as Facebook or Tangle and private community providers such as MemberHubs, Church Community Builder, Unifyer or Cobblestone.


In the Church Website Study, we have over one hundred churches representing 20,000 members who have participated, over a thousand survey responses and a collective 20 years worth of combined Google Analytics data to help us understand what is working, what people are doing, where they came from and what church members seek when they visit a church website.  At the end of the day we hope to share as much of this data to churches so that we all can benefit and the Kingdom advances.  I released some of this information in a series of webinars I did that are posted on Vimeo.  Articles will be published at Church Website Guide.
