John Hamman says
Thanks for the write up guys!
In a nutshell- we are a church growth solution.
We build websites that bring visitors to the Church (not just the website). Our CMS system integrates directly with Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking websites. So for example, when you post a sermon or event on the website, it also posts it to Facebook.
Unfortunately our website is being updated now so it may not reflect clearly what we do.
