I'm diggin it!  Clean layout.  A 'Complete Thought'.... so many websites have patch-work information. This one is clear.

Some other possible add-ons to look into should you decide to expand:
1)  Prayer Center: allow people to submit their prayer request (found at Joomla.org)
2)  VideoShare:  Either showcase the best in Christian video's and news.  You could either let the members submit their own Christian video's by linking to GodTube, YouTube or Google Video.  It would keep them using the church site and seeing what others have posted. 
3)  Umm....that's about it.  I could think of others but they might take away from the clean design you already have. 

Good job Man of God!

Hi, Jeff! Love your site.  May I ask how did you change the height difference between the left or right column and the main column so that the grey colored area is minimized?

Thanks, everyone, for your kind words. 

@Aaron Chan:
It's been a while since I made that change, but I believe this was the solution.  Please let me know if this doesn't do the trick and I'll hunt check into it further.

In your template.css file (found in templates/rt_synapse_j15/css), starting around line 224 replace the original code with the code below:

Code:
#showcase {
overflow: hidden;
}

#showcase-padding {
padding-top: 5px;
}

#maincol {
padding: 40px 20px 60px 30px;
}

#leftcol,
#rightcol {
margin-left: -8px;
margin-right: -8px;
}

Hey Jeff

Looks very nice.. we are about to launch a church in Deland, FL and I have been trying to get a site together, but it has been a slow road.  Blessings on your endeavors!  www.themotus.com
