Hello, and thanks for stopping by! Odds are you are a member of Beacon Community Church and heard about this site through another member. Glad you stopped by!
This site is a mockup, a test if you will, of a new version of the Beacon website. As such, nothing you see here is set in stone ;-) So if you see something that isn’t right, please just let me know, and I’ll try to fix it. If you have suggestions for look and feel or have some ideas for design or content, please let myself, Joe, or Steve know. We’re working hard to get Beacon back on the web with fresh content.
Also, while there are messages listed, these are all just filler files I borrowed from my home church archives. So despite seeing John’s name on those postings, those files are faked for now. I’m working on getting all the message audio since Christmas up so we can get a feel for how the site and podcasts would work.
Yep, that’s right: we have a podcast now. We aren’t advertising on iTunes yet, as we are still not at the right URL and since the files are fake for now. But if you would like to try it out, you can open up iTunes, choose Advanced -> Subscribe to Podcast, and then enter the URL “http://www.codingmonk.org/podcast.xml”. While it won’t be John’s voice, it will give you an idea of what is to come.
I hope you find some exciting possibilities here. I’m excited about what God could be doing through us as we connect through the internet!
Update
We’ve since moved the site over to our formal domain. We hope you enjoy the new look and feel!
