New Online Church Aims to Reach Those with No Experience of God, Christianity or Church
July 5th, 2007

Church on the Net is a new and unique online church which aims to help people find out more about God, Christianity and church. It is designed for seekers, agnostics and atheists as well as people of other faiths - and even Christians who are unable to go to church. If it feels too challenging to go through the doors of a church building, Church on the Net is open 24/7 and lets you browse articles addressing common questions, difficult issues and the fundamental principles of the Christian faith in a self-directing way. Plus, there's an interactive community section.

Ripon, England, (PRWEB) July 5, 2007 -- Holy Trinity Church Ripon has launched an online 'church' for people who are not already engaged with the Christian faith, and who are looking for answers, but may not feel ready (or be able) to walk into a church building. Its goal is to help people discover if God is of relevance to them today, providing a safe and self-directed way to find straightforward answers to questions about Christianity. Longer-term, the goal is to encourage them to find a local church where they can feel at home.

Very few churches exist purely online, and Church on the Net (http://www.church-on-the-net.com/) is unique because it is evangelistic, rather than designed to serve believers or any pre-existing fellowship. The team behind the project says that as well as agnostics, atheists and seekers, however, the online church may be useful to new Christians afraid of asking 'silly' questions, Christians who have slipped away from an active faith, and those who find it difficult to meet together (such as the housebound, carers, and those in remote areas or who face persecution). the rest
