Emmanuel Adell: The Future is Now

Considering its relatively small size as a congregation, Emmanuel Adell had a vast website when we (Luthernet) were asked to perform a redesign. In fact, it was probably a bit too much to keep updated. Websites can really use a lot of your time, often for what seems to be very little reward, which is why your church may need to simplify a bit when it decides to upgrade.
Emmanuel had a couple of sections that had not been changed for several years, and even though those sections could bring visitors, it's also likely those visitors would note the age of the content. Moving forward, the pastor made the correct decision in pairing down the website to fewer sections so that more of them can have newer content.
When we design for a church, we often want to make at least the home page image-heavy. Not slow, but the main page is where visitors will decide if they'll bother clicking any links. I've read the articles that suggest image sliders don't do a lot to retain viewers, but at least some kind of story can be told on that main page.
If you have a church like Emmanuel, with beautiful art inside and a traditional look outside, those are the images to use. If your church is in a mini-mall, then use either people or visual metaphors.
These images don't have to be in each updated article as in an article slider, since that's going to be a lot of work. Choose three to ten images that are representative of your congregation and just have them on the home page as a way for seekers to understand something  about you without having to read.
Beyond that, our website for Emmanuel was pretty straightforward, with some news sections and some static content, a map, and a calendar.
Luthernet and Brave New Church can help with your website needs, whether you have a large church or small, and whether you want two menu items or fifty.
