'MyOfficeSecrets.com' a New Tool for Granger Community Church

By WSBT News1

(WSBT) Brave billboards can be seen all over Michiana. One says "I look at naughty web sites at work ... myofficesecrets.com."

Surprisingly, it one belongs to Granger Community Church.

"We wanted just to do something fun, get people's attention, put a Web site on there that they might remember, so when they go home they could interact with it and find out more about what we are offering," explained Executive Pastor Tim Stevens.

The billboards and blogs are part of a five week series on how to make the most of life at work.

Some say this technology is raising the bar for other churches.

"It pushes the rest of us, and we may not have the resources to match what they're doing but there are other things you can do that are creative and innovative," said College Pastor Brent Wood.

The eight billboards put up by Granger Community Church aren't the only tool that area churches are using.

Grace Church in Granger is passing out a "Grace To Go Happy Meal" with a DVD, popcorn and a free movie rental.

And if the billboards aren't enough to push you to take care of business, the church created a new Web site — MyOfficeSecrets.com — that lets you spill your work secrets anonymously.

"It's amazing how open and vulnerable people are being in that, but I think what it does is it kind of puts us all on even ground, even footing, that we all struggle," Stevens told WSBT News.

Pastor Stevens says all these techy tools are meant to stir Christian thought and talk while in the workplace.

"How do you know what the right ethics at work are? How do you know how to navigate tough relationships? And there's so much in the Bible that talks about that so we just wanted to tackle the topic head on," Stevens said.

"The Office" series at Granger Community Church runs through September 16. This is the second time that the church has rented billboards for a series.
