We use this package for our church clients and they're pretty happy to have a feature rich system inexpensively.

It was a learning curve for us, but probably one of the easiest CMS installs I've seen - especially tailored for churches. I'd start there, but look at other possibilities as well. For my part, I'm more interested in handing content control over to people who really know that content. Any good CMS will let you do that. wvpv - I hear you on that one. I actually have to check the status of our Backup Domain Controller. I think our servers are currently P3's, but we have a decent RAID 5 attached to it so at least have some redundancy going. :) Chase, I’ll have a post in the future about our experience with the WEC project mentioned in my post.

I'm sort of struggling with the same thing right now. I'm in a volunteer position on the tech team at our church and have been very unhappy about how our website currently looks, but I just haven't exactly figured out how to redesign it yet. Hopefully I can find some advice here. Thanks! This is a very encouraging article. I’m sort of struggling with the same thing right now.

I thought our team of three was doing good to get a backup domain controller up and going. Both of our servers are P4 500Mhz boxes with 512MB of RAM. Living large and knowing enough to be dangerous, woo-hoo. Yeah…hehe…me, too.

At times it does seem to feel like the "small church" guys are all alone. I follow a lot of the bigger church tech names, but once they start talking "new SAN" or "Server Farm", it's really hard to keep up. My terms tend to be "external USB" and "donated boxes". :) Thanks for the feedback. At times it does seem to feel like the “small church” guys are all alone.
