The FBC Youth website was created with two key needs in mind. The audience is senior high youth and so the site had to be interesting and have not only relevant information, but more imporantly, interactive content. Secondly, the challenge was to create an environment that would contribute towards the community of this group, extending regular meetings into a place of discussion and relationship outside of church walls.
This is accomplished through an extensive photo collection, the ability for registered members to make comments on these images, polls and a chat area as well as forums for discussion current topics and questions. Random photos are chosen and rotated as the visitor watches along the top banner and clicking on any one of these brings them to a larger version complete with date, caption and member comments.
Contact information for youth leaders and timely forms and applications for events are posted as well as a calendar describing regular meetings and special events.
