eChurchWebsites Gets Listed in The Creme Christian Directory
I’m really proud to announce that eChurchWebsites (Website development for churches and christian ministries) has been listed in the creme de la creme of Christian Website directories. Have look:-
Here is some more information about this Christian directory from their website:-
UK Christian Websites is a listing of the best British (UK-based) Christian websites, or web sites. We have a special concern for those websites which focus on strong and solid teaching.
More About This Site Directory
You may think this is a small page of links but we have purposely designed it this way! This is not a long listing – we are just giving you the creme de la creme of quality UK Christian websites.
Most Christian directories contain many thousands of links; the chances of somebody finding your listing and linking to you from such a site are infinitesimally small – but this is a ONE PAGE listing of the best UK-based Christian sites, and we will never allow it to grow beyond one page. The result? A rapid-loading page where all links can be found within a few minutes! We refuse to list poor sites here, but if we do list you, you will receive numerous ‘hits’ from this source. The lack of quality British Christian web sites is so serious that we have decided, at least initially, to include a few non-UK sites which focus on British evangelical Christians.
ABOUT OUR NAME:
We are the original UK Christian Websites – when we first conceived this name we did a search and there was no other directory of this name. Lamentably, a few have now taken this directory name without searching if any similar directory already existed. We have no connection with them. One such site contains a so-called “Official Top 50″ of UK-based Christian sites which have to pay for inclusion. There is no such thing as an “official top 50″ and if there were, such a listing should not be based on paying anybody! We have no charges. Jesus said, ‘Freely you have received, freely give.’ You just have to ask us and provided the quality is there, we will list you! NOTHING TO PAY! Of the 50 listed on that site virtually none are sites which contain many pages of solid Christian teaching – in contrast to the sites which we list, and a very few of their ‘top 50′ represent positively heretical teachings.
PLEASE READ THIS:
As we started to put this page together there were a serious lack of good quality Christian websites based in the UK; a reflection, perhaps, of modern materialistic and secular Britain. We are hoping that this situation will dramatically improve. We have no intention of making this a huge page and intend keeping it down to a maximum of about 80- 100 of the creme de la creme of quality British Christian sites.
PLEASE NOTE FURTHER:
We will generally not post the websites of local church congregations on here, but might do so if we find an excellent one with access to many teaching resources. With the mushrooming of false teachers who do not hesitate to pervert the words of Scripture in order to make themselves powerful/wealthy, we are especially interested in doctrinal and countercult sites.
What We Are Looking For…..and What We Will Tend to Exclude!
PLEASE, PLEASE do not contact us to list a site which is:
a. Currently ‘down.’
b. Only has about 3 unfinished pages.
c. Badly designed with poor site navigation.
When we check out a site, We would like to see:
1. A clear Statement of Faith.
Such a Statement testifies that the site stands in the great evangelical Faith and is not the cover for a cult.
2. A Quality site, the quality not only in sensible helpful design, but also in a sensible, consistent and intelligent approach to Christian problems and doctrinal understanding.
3. A good-sized site. Please don’t bring a site to our attention if it only has 1-10 pages.
4. Some Solid Christian Teaching.
More and more people are coming into contact with the gospel for the very first time through Christian websites – take advantage of this! Don’t believe the old idea that people will only read internet articles if they are very brief; nobody accepts this any more. Some of the most popular articles on the Museltof group of Christian websites are very, very long articles! In this day of religious pluralism and of the spreading tentacles of the cults and sects, we feel that all serious Christian sites should give at least some basic coverage to the disciplines of Apologetics and Countercult, even if this is mostly through external links. We are also always pleased to note the willingness to link to external sites where additional fine biblical teaching may be found.
This will remain a simple one page site so anything listed here will have exceptional exposure. When we tested it, for instance, a Google Search for ‘British Christian websites’ or, ‘UK Christian websites’ brought us up on the first page! It therefore follows that we expect a link back to one of our sites (E Mail us for information), ON THE HOMEPAGE. A text link would be fine. We feel this is asking very little for such exposure.
WHAT WE WILL TEND TO EXCLUDE:
1. Sites which have too many slow-loading graphics on their homepage. This has become a major turn-off for many browsers. The homepage tends to set the standard for websites; there is nothing better than a crisp, neat uncluttered homepage which loads quickly.
2. Sites which uphold false teachings. No site will ever be listed if it supports the ‘Word-faith’ message, that is, the ‘prosperity teaching’, or ‘positive confession’. We admittedly support New Covenant, four point Calvinist theology – emphasizing the teaching of grace just as the Apostle Paul did – but we will not necessarily bar a site tending towards being Arminian as long as it is not excessive and does not attack non-Arminians.
3. Sites which have a Links page pointing to the sites of false teachers. It is surprising how often otherwise fine sites include links to extremist charismatic and word-faith teacher’s sites. These are excluded.
4. Sites which generate annoying pop-up ads on page entry (although this is far less of a problem nowadays).
I’m really proud to be accepted in this excusive directory!
