The following is a list of localized Christian portals which serve a particular geographic area.
The first two lists are of websites which seem to be involved in some way in web-based city-reaching projects. We are compiling this list in the hopes of forming a loose affiliation of people involved in developing such sites.
The final, and larger, list is of websites for organizations involved in localized outreach. While these websites are not city-reaching projects themselves, I am including them because it seems that some of these might have potential for being the launching pads (even if only in terms of common personnel) for future web-based city-reaching projects.
If you know of any websites which are not included here, please don’t hesitate to so we can add them to the list. As the list grows longer, we will endeavor to organize it more carefully (probably on a geographic basis).

Beacom
Beacom.com seems to have a local focus with their “Hometowns” feature (claiming portals for Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Orange County, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Youngstown and New York City), but their portals do not seem to contain local information, and it doesn’t seem to us that these longstanding websites have been updated anytime recently.
Efforts Which Have A Strong Web Presence In Addition To Offline Efforts
These are websites of localized organizations which are primarily involved in offline outreach efforts, but also have a web presence. In some cases, their web presence is very active while in others, their websites are simply brochures outlining their regional ministry.

I believe that the internet provides today's church with a historic opportunity .... to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love in ways which could only have been imagined in times past. The objective of this website is to explore the various ways in which today's technology can be used to spread the gospel around the world.
