I think that a YG website is quickly becoming passe'. Larger ministries are probably going to do great with them. But they aren't going to be attracting students like they used to. Your energy would be better invested in a Facebook page. (not a group, a page.) I agree with Adam. I think that a YG website is quickly becoming passe’.

Our Youth Group website is geared at drawing people into the social media we're already using because we know that social media will be much more connective and informative to them than our website will be. Our group uses a facebook page, text messaging, and a weekly email to parents. All of this can be done for free and - in my case - it reaches all of my parents and teens. I also run the Facebook page for our church. If you've got any questions on using facebook/txt/email/website, send me an email or whatever. adam.j.lehman (at) gmail.com @Richard

When you say "we all just cave in and do stuff on Facebook", what did you mean? How would that look? A group page? Adam, this was really good.
