This weekend we officially launched six new web sites supporting our multi-site web presence and overall online communications strategy.  More than 30 staff and volunteers have been working around the clock to ensure our web sites were presentable for this weekends launch, timed with the launch of the Prince William Campus. Thank you to all who worked hard to make our web site launch a success.

The decision was made to improve our web presence in order to better serve our multi-campus strategy.  McLean Bible Church is “one church in multiple locations” and our web presence needed to be updated to reflect our multi-campus presence in the Washington, DC Metro area.

Our new web presence is still a “work in progress” and we know that there are bugs and bad links that still need to be worked out.  Please grant us some grace as we work to perfect our sites over the next several weeks.

Here are some quick points to help you navigate our new family of web sites.

The New mcleanbible.org
The new mcleanbible.org is now our church’s central web site.  Think of mcleanbible.org as the hub for all core DNA information about our church, campuses and ministries.  Here you will find information about sermons, our radio ministries “So WHAT?”® and “Not a Sermon, Just a Thought”®, our senior pastor Lon Solomon, our core ministries, elders, executive leadership, and other information that is central to who we are as a church. Also on the central site, you will find information about central MBC ministries that care for the individual, the local community and the world.

The New mbctysons.org
From the central web site, you may link to each individual campus web site to learn specific information about what is happening at that campus.  This is a big change for our Tysons Campus who now has their own website at mbctysons.org.  For example, the Tysons Campus Kid’s Quest, Access, Student, Adult and Family ministries is all located on Tysons Campus web site mbctysons.org.

The New mbcloudoun.org
The Loudoun Campus web site has also moved to mbcloudoun.org.  The content is relatively the same but the look and functionality are sharp.  Also, be sure to check out Loudoun’s campus blog ImpactLoudoun.com.

The New mbcprincewilliam.org
Our brand new Prince William Campus‘ home on the web is mbcprincewilliam.org.  We are very excited to be starting our new church community in Manassas and look forward to seeing what God does in and through the new campus.

The New cityimpactdc.org
Our City Impact ministry now has their own dedicated web site at cityimpactdc.org

The New mbclive.org
If you want to join us for worship online you may do so on our page or from the Internet Campus home page mbclive.org or the launch point on the top right of every MBC campus home page.

Remember: to return to the home page click on the logo on the top left corner of the screen or use the “breadcrumb” links under the main navigation at the top of each page.

Thank you for taking some time to learn about our new web presence. Our hope is to help our visitors find the information they  need to connect to God and others through all McLean Bible Church campuses.

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know.

Thank you,

AnnieLaurie
