Time is More Valuable Than Money
Note, however, that time is more valuable than money. While you could earn more money, you can never earn more time. Having a free web presence is a way to get started, but I’d encourage you to diligently make room in your church budget to get a professional website built that better represents your church and the God that we worship.
