Awards also went to Goodmayes Baptist Church's website, the iSingWorship app, Christians Against Poverty, Church Urban Fund and The Lily Jo Project.

The gong for Best Use of Video was given to Four Kinds of Christmas, an interesting take on the different types of Christmas celebrations.

TGI Monday was credited with the most creative use of social media, while the most Engaging Large Church website was St Thomas Norwich.

The Hub Church took the award for small church website.

Elsewhere, the Most Inspiring Leadership Blog was named as Youth Work Hacks, Girl Got Faith was given the Up and coming Award and the Young Blogger of the Year is The Mustard Seed.

Mark Russell of the Church Army was awarded the Tweeter of the Year gong.

Winners were given a trophy, certificate, digital trophy for their site and a prize, like a digital camera or tablet computer.

Kevin Bennett, Chief Operating Officer at Premier said: "The finalists for this year's awards have been truly inspirational.

"They are testimony to the vitality and creativity with the Christian community. Our hope is that people across the UK will be encouraged to take up the challenge of communicating the Christian message credibly and relevantly in this digital age.

"We look forward to seeing them as finalists in next year's awards."

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
