Sean Coughlin is the CEO and one of the co-founders of FaithStreet. FaithStreet is a website that allows newcomers to areas to find and connect with the churches around them. It also allows congregations to reach out using the internet. Currently, FaithStreet has over 17,000 churches across America on their website, and their next goal is developing a simple way to give money to the communities their members serve. Sean’s story for the startup of the company is interesting. He graduated from Harvard College and University of Virginia School of Law, and began working for a top law firm. He left his job however because he felt the need to start something big and new. This success story of going from a law background to a tech startup is inspiring to me. It shows his faith and his willingness to take a leap in it to follow his calling.

Cool start-up! Historically, I think Churches are weak when it comes to utilizing the internet. This is an easy way for Churches to spread the word about how to get connected. I agree that Sean took a huge leap of faith quitting his law firm job to pursue this website and that is really cool and inspiring.
I agree he took a huge risk for his start-up and it benefited in the long run. I hope churches can utilize his site in order to reach out to more people in the community.
I love that there is something out there that connects people to a local church. It is definitely something the church needs to improve upon. Giving people the opportunity to find somewhere to belong online is a great use of the internet. Thanks for sharing!
This website is an incredible idea. What better way to network with your church than to use a social media website made for churches? This would help churches to get their mission statements across to curious people, it could help them gain members, and it could help those who are trying to find a church around their area. Almost all forms of business/community can benefit from social media in some way and churches are clearly no exception.
The fact that he took such a huge risk without knowing what may happen to him financially is very inspiring. For him to make this decision just goes to show how much faith he actually had. It was a great idea because of how many peoples lives he is enriching with the word of God through FaithStreet that they may otherwise never have found. Great find.
