Carol D’Onofrio, Web Developer
“If you know and love the Lord Jesus Christ, you have something to contribute to your local church.”
Developing and maintaining the church’s digital presence. I volunteered to build a new website to attract more people to take a look at Murdock Baptist Church. I help maintain the systems end. I’ve also built a site that is accessible to those who may have a disability. I also provide analytic reports so that the staff can review # of hit views on a page, # of visitors to the site and where they come from, and what content works and doesn’t so we can adjust the site to meet the needs. I have also volunteered and trained the staff so they can help maintain the site and post their own content as well.
Newbie! Only been here 2 years now. But I can’t imagine myself any where else. I love the community.
Extravert who loves to talk and super friendly to anyone. I’m creative – I love to create whether websites, crafts, gardening or even designing my home or others. Extremely generous with gifts, love, money or my time because I love to make people happy and feel loved.
Working with the community and supporting them, as well as attracting people who seek out a church that they feel they can belong to. Hopefully more people come and get saved and have a personal relationship with God. That’s my goal. As well as I love training people and showing them new skills.
Every person has a gift. Mine is creating websites, so it’s a natural fit for me to volunteer to create a site that will attract more church members and support the existing ones, as well as, the surrounding community.
Take a look at your gifts. We are all given at least one thanks to the Holy Spirit. It doesn’t have to be technical, like mine. Your gift may be a beautiful smile that warms others to make them feel safe or feel welcomed. Your gift may be a great listener to help comfort others or be a leader. Your gift may be to bake /cook or to clean. When you give, you feel good about yourself and when you give-God sees your heart and knows what you did for his people.
It warms me to know that I can give back to the church who supports me. I have gotten to know so many. Truly everyone is my brother or sister and feel I am part of God’s family.
Hasn’t happened yet. I’m waiting for analytics! I’m waiting to see how many new members or people we can save through the grace of God.
A conversation at lunch with Pastor Ron and Amy. They asked what I did and I mentioned my specialty is building websites for people who have disabilities. They asked to take a look at their current one (dangerous thing to ask a developer) and then I volunteered to build them a new one.
I love muscle cars and have had a few in my life Chevy Laguna with a 454 big block engine to Camaros to Mustangs. I have three daughters. Two of whom I adopted from Puerto Rico. And I’m a huge NE Patriots fan and I use to be on the sidelines with the players, as I use to setup big cooling fans for them.
