WHERE THE SAY-DO GAP BEGINS

01

Profile side view

A Website Built "About Us" Isn't "About People"

The purpose of the Church is threefold: Love God, Make Disciples, and Reach the Lost.

BUT HERE’S THE TENSION MANY CHURCHES FEEL:

What the church says it values and what its website does are often two very different things.

THIS IS THE SAY-DO GAP.

Scripture calls us to love people, disciple believers, and help them grow. Yet most church websites unintentionally shine the spotlight on the church itself—its ministries, schedules, internal structure, and Sunday experience.

When the digital front door is inward-focused, it widens the Say-Do Gap.

The Hope & Help Website from BLVR closes that gap. By putting the emphasis back on people and their next steps, it aligns what we say our mission is with what we actually do online.

This is how the digital front door becomes a disciple-making tool.

START WITH DISCIPLESHIP

02

Why Discipleship Must Come First

The Oxygen Mask Analogy

On an airplane, you’re told to put on your oxygen mask before helping someone else. Not because you’re more important—but because you can’t help others if you can’t breathe.

The same is true for the Church.

Before we can effectively reach the lost, we must first strengthen the saved. We must help our people grow, take next steps, and live out their faith.

But most church websites unintentionally disciple people into passive Christianity by failing to show them a clear path forward.

That’s part of the Say-Do Gap:

We say we want people to grow…
…but the website doesn’t show them how.

We say we want active disciples…
…but most digital experiences produce spectators.

The Hope & Help Website closes this gap by giving people simple, accessible ways to grow—without confusion or friction.

Turning Passive Christians into Active Disciples

A disciple-making church creates clarity, not confusion. Movement, not stagnation. Opportunity, not obstacles.

The Hope & Help Website surfaces next steps that help people grow in obedience and maturity:

→ Baptism
Invitations appear throughout relevant pages, not just on a dedicated Next Steps page.

→ Serving
Opportunities appear where the person’s gifts, passions, or interests naturally align.

→ Giving
Stewardship resources and giving pathways are integrated into the person’s journey.

→ Relationships
Groups and gatherings are surfaced based on who the user is and what they need.

→ Talking to a Pastor
Low-barrier access builds trust and provides real pastoral care.

This is where the Say-Do Gap closes:

Your website stops being a digital bulletin board and becomes a digital discipleship pathway.

Sunday Christians stop attending. People start following Jesus.

REACH THE LOST

03

Reaching the Lost by Starting Where They Actually Are.

Most unchurched and dechurched people are not waking up thinking, “I should find a church today.”

They are searching for help with real, painful, overwhelming struggles:

— Anxiety and depression
— Marriage tension
— Parenting challenges
— Financial stress
— Loneliness and isolation
— Purpose and meaning
— Grief and loss

These are spiritual entry points—holy intersections where the gospel meets human need.

But most church websites ignore these topics entirely.

The Hope & Help Website reverses this. It elevates people’s real needs and leads with hope and help—not church information.

This closes the Say-Do Gap by aligning what the church says it exists to do (love people, reach the lost) with what its website actually does.

“I love, love, love how this website approach puts the focus on people. We are not shining the light on our church, rather we are showing up to meet people wherever they’re at throughout our community to offer them hope & help.”

- Dr. Scott Smith, Lead Pastor Sonrise Church

WHY THIS MODEL WORKS

04

How Hope + Help Transforms Your Digital Front Door.

01

FELT NEEDS: THE DIGITAL BRIDGE TO THE LOST

The Hope & Help Church Website contains a robust network of pages dedicated to the struggles people in your community are searching for online: “Help with anxiety” | “Christian marriage advice” | “How to handle financial pressure” | “Support for teens who are overwhelmed.” This is how a church shows up in Google and AI responses exactly where lost people are searching.

02

AUDIENCE CLASSIFICATION: PERSONALIZED PATHWAYS

The Hope & Help Website identifies who the visitor is and routes them into a personalized funnel: Men | Women | Parents | Students | Young adults | Adults in crisis. Once the website understands the person, it curates a pathway filled with relevant content, right-fit programs, and testimonies of hope that nurtures them to take a next step. This is discipleship before someone ever steps foot inside the building.

03

THE DATING VS. MARRIAGE ANALOGY

Most churches ask people to “marry” them too soon—pushing for Sunday attendance before building any relationship. The Hope & Help Website lets people “date” your church before you ask them to commit. They can read messages, watch stories, find help, and explore from a safe distance. When they’re ready—naturally, gradually—they take a step toward community.

04

LOW-BARRIER CONTENT: SAFE EXPLORATION

People who would never attend a church service will absolutely: Read an article about anxiety | Watch a video on forgiveness | Click on a marriage help resource | Explore a parenting guide. This content gives people a chance to explore faith from the safety of home. Low-barrier content is the new “first conversation.”

05

EMPOWERING YOUR PEOPLE TO EVANGELIZE

One of the most powerful outcomes of a people-first website is that it equips your congregation to share their faith organically. Every Hope & Help page is: Relevant | Practical | Biblical | Shareable | Hope-filled. A member can text a link: “Hey, saw this page on anxiety—it might help.” We’re giving your people tools to actually do it.

06

INTEGRATED WITH YOUR MINISTRY SYSTEMS

A disciple-making pathway must connect to real ministry systems that support ongoing growth. The Hope & Help Website integrates directly with: Your ChMS | Groups platform | Volunteer onboarding | Giving platform | Pastoral care workflows. A digital action triggers a real relational connection. This is where a church’s Say-Do Gap disappears almost entirely.
