Online Search Leads the Way

Greetings,

According to a new study from The Barna Group online search is "easily the most common online activity." More than eight out of 10 computer users (84%) searched in the last week. That's why we at OurChurch.Com are committed to being the leading Christian search marketing company on the planet. And it's why we've declared May to be Marketing Month.
