Which option is NOT typically a feature of the home page for a church website?

• A. Hero image or video
• B. Missional text
• C. Personal blog posts in the header
• D. Prominent call to action

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that a church home page should create a welcoming first impression, clearly communicate the church’s mission, and steer visitors toward next steps. A hero image or video provides an immediate sense of identity and atmosphere. Missional text concisely states what the church is about and invites people to participate. A prominent call to action gives a clear next step, such as planning a visit, finding service times, or getting involved. Personal blog posts in the header, while they can be valuable elsewhere, don’t fit the homepage’s typical rhythm. The header area should stay clean and fast-loading, focusing on branding, navigation, and quick actions. Blogs are better placed on a dedicated blog or news page, so placing personal posts in the header would clutter the top of the page and distract from guiding visitors toward a next step.
