Grace Church Websites Offers Free Website Services to Local Churches and Non-Profit Organizations in Underserved Communities.
Grace Church Websites, a new company devoted to providing free websites to churches and other nonprofit organizations, this month launched its service targeting churches and non-profits.
The company, founded by American Business magnate and philanthropist Don Vaccaro and pastor Rev. Dr. Boise Kimber, offers local churches and nonprofit groups a wide variety of free web-related services, including domain registration and annual renewal, website maintenance, the content management system, and hosting. Vaccaro and Kimber launched the company in order to better help churches – especially local, urban churches – better reach the people in their communities looking for a church family.
“My career has been devoted to building companies that provide employment and business opportunities to give working men and women the chance to grow their talents and fulfill their potential,” said Vaccaro, who serves as CEO of Grace Church Websites. “Our services will allow churches and nonprofits to connect directly and immediately with the communities they serve, a necessity in today’s society. It is my hope these websites will connect people with churches in their communities.”
“The church has to modernize in order to continue to remain relevant. As our memberships grow older, we struggle to recruit and connect to a new generation where social media of 2016 has replaced the flyers of 1955,” said Rev. Kimber. “These websites will essentially serve as digital front doors, welcoming newcomers, keeping members informed, organizing activities and sharing God’s love with their communities.”
According to National Action Network President and Founder, renowned civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton: “Grace Church Websites is providing a need for faith-based organizations that leads to economic empowerment, decreases the digital divide, and diversity within the Information Superhighway.”
There are no costs associated with a website set up through Grace Church Websites. Organizations interested in signing up for website services should visit their website at www.gracechurchsites.com or contact support@gracechurchsites.com.
