How would you like to win a MAP Nautilus Coffee Capsule machine valued at $355.00?

Big thanks to Brad Buchanan of Prime Creative Media

Here's how to enter:

1. Answer the questions below.
2. The last question asks for extended thought - the prize will go to the person with the best idea (the more ideas the better chance you have), as long as they have correct answers to the questions.
3. When you press 'Submit my answers', you'll have entered.

Here's how to increase your chances:

• Get three friends to fill out the questions (completely), and if you made one or two mistakes on your questions, your ideas will still be considered.
• The friends will need to use your full name in the "referred by" box.

To let you know that we haven't forgotten about a few very exciting things, and, to put it to you that we are seeking input (after all it's basically your website - let us know your needs), we're writing up our rollout stages.

Stage 1 you will see right now - that was the main work of getting the website redesigned, onto a platform that we can update easily at will, adding calendar and directory functionality, and making navigation a lot easier.

Stage 2 will focus a lot more on email, adding automatic sign up to our eNewsletter, as well as adding in application forms, with the ability to pay via credit card.

Stage 3 will focus on a greater rounding out of directory information, such as services, Christian movies, recommended sermons, recommended resources and a picture gallery.

Stage 4 will focus further on community functionality such as feedback forms, social media integration, a forum (if feedback is for this), user profiles (if feedback is for this) and a mobile version (if lots of people access the site from their phones).

In all stages well be adding content such as policy documents and news items.

Be thinking about how you can use the site:

• Perhaps we can work out a way to tap you into our application process for your next church camp? 
• Perhaps you've got some great material that you'd love to recommend?

Be sure to place a comment below.

Well after some serious planning and work, we now have a new look with all important elements such as a calendar, news blog, easily searchable directories, and a growing reserve of downloadable resources.

We are seriously going after content from our churches - anything that might be useful for other churches. Got some small group curricula, or 10-week advanced Bible study? Willing to share it with other like-minded people? Let's all benefit from it without having to reinvent the wheel all the time.

This work represents the first stage of our efforts - more to come!
