Excellence is our calling as Christians. The Internet creates tremendous opportunities to love and serve people, share Christ, and advance the Kingdom. Yet, many ministries either do not recognize the benefits, are afraid to engage, or do not know where to begin.

The Online Kingdom Excellence Project was created to help ministries to not only engage on mission online, but to envision a model for online ministry that takes exception to the givens of society and points to a better way.

The Online Kingdom Excellence Project is being lead by Kevin Ring of Unconventional Method, partnering with Drew Goodmanson (CEO of Monk Development and cofounder/pastor of Kaleo Church) and Dave Bourgeois, PhD (Associate Professor of Information Systems, Biola University).

Project Overview

Online Kingdom Excellence is an approach to Internet strategy and activities for ministries, centered on Kingdom principles, based on excellence, and aimed at long-term success through Kingdom advancement and benefits to the organization and to society.

The purpose of the program is to strengthen ministry efforts online by:

• helping improve ministry performance, practices, capabilities and results
• facilitating communication and sharing of best practice information
• advancing ministry operations by maximizing the potential created by the Internet while avoiding pitfalls
• encouraging learning and development for ministries and individuals in order to remain relevant to a changing world culture.

Why Excellence?

The Internet is changing how the world works. Ministries and Christian culture are historically slow to react to and adapt to such trends resulting in missed opportunities and the perception of being irrelevant to the world, both of which diminish the effectiveness of our efforts.
We believe that:
1) Focusing on a standard of excellence that is centered on God and rooted in Biblical truth; and
2) Demonstrating the impact excellence can create in life transformation and organizational performance,

raises the significance given to the Internet within ministry organizations and broadly across Christian culture.

Excellence creates a number of direct and indirect benefits for organizations, while non-excellence diminishes the effectiveness and credibility of our efforts

We believe that Excellence is tantamount to our calling as Christians. The Internet creates tremendous opportunities to love and serve people, share Christ, and advance the Kingdom.

The Case for Online Kingdom Excellence
Explore a standard of online ministry excellence centered on Kingdom principles that promote long-term Kingdom success. Examine critical new research, while studying a five-point model for online excellence: strategy, presence, measurement, engagement, and impact.

In this session participants will 1) consider creative and innovative ways to create impact through online ministry 2) be armed with language, data, and examples to make the case for online excellence within their organization and 3) receive validated practices and benchmarks against which they can measure their Internet strategy.
