New Creation Church Launches New Website

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Creation Church Launches New Website
San Jose, California (April 6, 2010) – New Creation Church redesigned its website as a vital communication tool for its members and for the south San Jose community as a whole. This decision resulted in an improved website which offers a fresh new look that technically provides its online visitors with significant improvements in navigation and easier accessibility for users.

New Creation Council President Jay Everson says, “The previous website was developed with a focus on internal collaboration and ease of management. However, sacrifices were made in design and usability. With the design of this latest website, much more energy was put into usability and easily providing answers that our readers are looking for.”

New Creation Church merged with St. Andrew Church, also known as Next Generation Church, last year. Since the merger, much of their efforts have been put towards developing their Next Generation Family Ministries. This re-launch of the website, http://newcreationchurch-sj.org, reflects their continuing commitment to serving children, youth, and families in the Santa Teresa/south San Jose area.

Since its inception in 1995, New Creation has experienced exceptional growth in both its community outreach and membership. Today, the new website reflects the breadth and dynamism of New Creation, and its enthusiasm for its ministries.

New Creation Council President Jay Everson further says: “While this is just the first phase of the launch of our new website, this marks the next step in a long journey for New Creation Church – one that reinforces our commitment to reaching out to our members and community. Our members and their needs are vital to us, and this website reflects our commitment to providing our members and readers with current information.”
