CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments

The ministry's website has become the key focus for our ministry delivery. On it, couples can find webinars, articles, romantic tips and other resources to help strengthen and grow their marriage relationships. Gaining exposure to our target audience and having them engage on our site is our greatest challenge. We redesigned our website and initiated Google AdWords using a grant offered to nonprofits. We hired a marketing firm to develop SEO campaigns for us, but it didn't have the impact we'd hoped. Hiring the help needed to design, maintain, and manage the website and its marketing will take significantly more income.
