ABOUT WORSHIP TIMES
Worship Times is a company founded by web designers, seminarians, and pastors who are devoted to creating a community dedicated to helping churches access high quality websites for their ministries.

We realized that some large congregations have been able to afford the large cost for web design and hosting but the majority of churches haven’t had the same luxury. Rather than force local congregations to continually reinvent the internet wheel, Worship Times is designed to leverage the strengths of a whole community and to provide cutting edge technologies that will serve your ministry.

Worship Times began in the Spring of 2011 as a joint venture between the web design professionals at Poka Yoke Design, Princeton Theological Seminary Students, and congregational Pastors. What has formed is a company that is dedicated to support the church’s ongoing ministry through cost-effective, high quality web design services tailored specifically for the needs of local congregations.

We started working with small churches, as we’ve grown, we’ve moved forward with custom development, working with large non-profit organizations.
