Frequently Asked Questions

What's the intent of FishersWorship.com?

Fishers and Hamilton County are growing rapidly. As a result, every day there are more and more people who are searching for a new place of worship that’s just right for them. Getting connected with a new place of worship is no easy task. It takes time and effort on the part of searchers.

Churches and other places of worship also invest a lot of time and money letting people know what they have to offer. They advertise in the local newspapers, get listed in various phone directories, mail postcards and letters, put up and maintain web sites, buy air time on the radio and TV, and more. It requires ongoing effort.

The goal of this site is to provide a resource that will both enhance and support everything churches and other places of worship do to reach out to the Fishers area community, as well as make it far easier for the searchers to find the place of worship that’s just right for them.

We want to make it as easy as possible for people in the Fishers, Indiana area to quickly connect with a new church that's just right for them. This is accomplished with church listings that offer essential information presented in a consistent format, as well as by providing help on finding a church, and sharing news of church related events.

While there are new "portal" sites cropping up to server Fishers, this is the only site specifically targeted toward helping area residents find a Fishers area church. Our sister site, FishersFind.com, was the first professional portal site to begin serving Fishers exclusively.

Isn't it enough that a place of worship advertises in the newspaper or maintains its own web site?

No, not really. Those are merely part of the mix. If you were looking for a church in Fishers, and didn't know what churches were available, odds are you'd start at a search engine such as Google. There you would enter search terms such as "churches in Fishers" or "Fishers Indiana churches." These terms won't necessarily bring your website (if you have one) to the top of the results. However, it will bring FishersWorship.com near the top.

Plus, just as any successful business utilizes a variety of media to get its message out, places of worship need to do the same to be truly effective. Every web site is unique with information presented in different ways. Newspaper ads are limited in the amount of information they can convey and are also varied in style.

The distinct advantage of FishersWorship.com is that the information on each place of worship is presented in a consistent manner and style, and in one central source. This makes it far easier for the searcher to look up essential information quickly. It also makes it easier to compare the various places of worship. It supports and enhances all the other marketing and outreach done by places of worship.

Why are places of worship charged to list on the site?

While we view this service in part as a form of ministry, there are costs involved. The minimal annual charge helps defray hosting and other expenses.

Any place of worship that is located within 20 miles of the Fishers town line can have a limited FREE listing on the directory page. These free listings can be upgraded with paid add-on features if the churches so choose.
