One of the reasons I love Wordpress for church websites (other than it being nearly free) is that you can easily add "contributors" to help you build. Hi Kent, welcome to the club!

I am starting to value teaching people how to use web building tools rather than do all the hard work for people / churches. As a volunteer I too want to break away from what I call the "contractor scenario", or the one volunteer does it all and everyone else has an opinion. For larger projects I have worked as a team member and really love multiple people having input. Now the lessons I am learning is how do we value working in community and teaching each other, to build something for the church community ... that happens to be something technical like a web site.
