"Why do we need a password protected area on
our website?"
For a number of reasons the web manger (and
others that were consulted) have determined that it is best if these
areas were made private and available only to members of MGBC &
registered guests - such as former MGBC members, family of
members that may live in other areas and
families of the Pre-School Learning Center.
(1) The Online Members
Directory: Many people have their
names & email address located on the "online-directory" page.
It is thought by having this area available only to registered
users that potential situations can be reduced involving spam
and other types of email abuse.
(2) Church Financial
Information: Prior to the creation of the "Members
Area" we had never uploaded financial information
about the church to the website, such as from "The Messenger."
Within the "Members Area" financial information that is published
(such as "The Messenger") within our church family can also be published on the
website.
(3) Prayer List:
After reviewing several recent prayer
lists it was determined that there was just too much personal
information on the prayer lists for the "whole world" to "see"
while at the same time our church family should have access to the prayer
requests. |
