Pastor and business executive start company to help churches bridge digital divide
Boise Kimber, pastor of First Calvary Baptist Church in New Haven, Connecticut, saw his congregation pay more than $1,000 for a website, only to have the people they purchased it from disappear.
Now Kimber’s church is the model for a company, Grace Church Websites, launched in partnership with Kimber’s friend Don Vaccaro, a business executive who is also a Baptist.
“A lot of people could not afford to buy the domain and some of the churches are rural churches,” Kimber said. “We are certainly dealing with the digital divide and trying to open the doors for more advancement for people who are in need.”
