The website ministry can be compared to the buttresses of a Gothic style cathedral. The website supports the purposes of the church, and like a buttress goes outside the “walls” to provide new structural capabilities and enhance the image of the church.

In every age the Christian Church has used multiple forms of communication to spread the message of hope found in Christ's sacrifice for our sins. From the stained glass windows of Europe's grandest cathedrals, to radio and television in the 20th Century, Cokesbury's website ministry is bringing the sharing Jesus with the world in our modern times.
