More Christmas services listed on A Church Near You than ever before
Listing church services online using the A Church Near You digital platform has helped to encourage many people to attend over Christmas.
AChurchNearYou.com (ACNY) is the Church of England’s church finder tool. Over 32,000 church services were listed through Advent and Christmas nationally.
During that time, the site received nearly 45 million page views, up 13% on last year.
Engagement was also strong, with 4,248 clicks to ‘Share’ and 9,869 clicks to ‘Add to Calendar’ on events, showing a clear intention to attend services.
The resources for churches, which included templates, posters and slides were downloaded 52,000 times.
Thank you to all the parishes and ACNY editors in the Diocese of Norwich for using ACNY to share church information and to invite people to church services.
