The Garden Community Church

The Garden Community Church website  [ http://thegardencommunitychurch.com ] is growing! There are a few new menu items I would like to announce..

1. Google Calender: This will enable you to check on current events, see what is new at the church, get details about events and teachings, and should overall increase our web traffic (which means more opportunities to minister to people and spread the good news which is Jesus Christ). [ http://thegardencommunitychurch.com/index.php/about-us-faith-purpose-vision-statement/calendar ].

2. Site-Map: You can now explore a tree-menu of all the pages on the website. This helps you find your way around and helps us keep things neat and orderly. [ http://thegardencommunitychurch.com/index.php/site-map-website ]. There is also an icon that you can click on located on the sidebar menu that will lead you to the calendar.

3. Poetry: We have added a poem section to the Multimedia category. Please submit your poetry through the Contacts page and we might post it. [ http://thegardencommunitychurch.com/index.php/multimedia/poetry ].

4. Events Menu Item: Here you will find references to current events at the Garden Community Church. [ http://thegardencommunitychurch.com/index.php/events-teaching ].

5. Sidebar Menu: This handy little item located to the left on your browser window shows sub-menus that appear when you click on the Main Menu (aka... the Horizontal Menu). Through this menu, you can travel even farther into the content of our website. Just keep your eye on the little grey box for changes. ;>)

6. Contact Us, Service Schedule and Map: Located under the "About Us" menu option, you will find various details about contacting us, finding out where the church is located, and other important information about the Garden Community Church in Cottonwood, Arizona (AZ) - Verde Valley. [ http://thegardencommunitychurch.com/index.php/about-us-faith-purpose-vision-statement ].

7. Search the Website: Did you notice the little box up in the right-hand corner labled "Search". Wow~! Now you can search this website just like a google search or something. Oh... try it now! Try it now! Type in the word "Jesus" and see what happens!

8. 91% Search Engine Optimization Score: We are currently rating at an overall 91% on our SEO score. What does this mean? It means that we have a greater chance of showing up high on the search engines such as Google or Yahoo. This can sometimes take awhile to kick in but, we are getting some very good results at this point. Here are some examples of what I am talking about:

This first link was rating at #1 position when I checked it this morning:

 http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=church+cottonwood+arizona

This second link was rating at #5 position when I checked it this morning:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Jesus+cottonwood+arizona+video&btnG=Search

Here is a link that you can look at to view how each page is scoring according to Search Engine Optimization. You can also check your own site and see how it pans out.

Anyway, as always - You are in my prayers as you visit this website. Peace and blessings to you in the name above all name which is Jesus Christ - our Lord and Savior.
