It looks a bit blog-ish. Are you going to have an RSS feed? Podcast? Photos of David sleeping with his mouth open? As far as MUSTS for church websites, I would say that the crucial MUST NOT is to leave any section with a "Coming Soon" type message. I have seen so many church websites that have audio sections, or forums, etc., and they have been "Coming Soon" for months. This is all to say that churches should work to keep their site current. If you hope to have other sections, build them into the design, but don't have active links up that take you to dead sections. I love the mock up. It looks a bit blog-ish.

For me, the sermons are one of the main reasons why I return to church sites so I'd prefer to have that up front rather than having to click for it.
