How can a Church website be re-tooled to serve as a ministry tool instead of just an event bulletin board?

Try this. If your Church website has a search function, search the site for "salvation" or "addiction". What results do you get? If a visitor can't find answers to these topics on a Church website, isn't that like them visiting your Church and not being able to get an answer to the same topics? How sad is that??

Ideas and brainstorming ensued with suggestions ranging from satellite defense systems, arming the sleigh with sidewinder
