West Coast Christians
Web Ring Home Page

Thanks for visiting the home page of West Coast Christians! This ring was created by me in April, 2000, in response to a need I saw when searching for a regional web ring I would want to join. (For me, "regional" means either Seattle/Tacoma, Washington State, the Pacific Northwest, or the West Coast.) Being a born-again Christian, I am particular about the content in the web rings I choose to join. I will not join any ring that contains content related to the occult or any other anti-Christian practices, or which contain coarse language, etc. The problem with "secular" web rings is that this type of content can rear its ugly head, even when the ring qualifications specify "family friendly". That's why I don't belong to many of those – and periodically check the few I do belong to.
Just the night before I put together this ring, I searched the former webring.org (since it was taken over by Yahoo, I have moved my rings to RingSurf) for a ring I would want to join in either my state of Washington, or the Pacific Northwest. I almost thought I found one. But near the end of its listings appeared a site with a name that sounded questionable to me. I looked at that site's home page, and sure enough, it contained language and content I did not wish to link to.
Searching a little farther, I found not one, but two rings for "Northwest Pagans", but nothing for Christians in the West or Northwest. To me, this was a glaring omission. I felt that since I saw the need for a web ring that would unite Christian sites in the West, I would need to create one. So I did! It is said that the Northwest is the most unchurched area of the U.S. Let's unite and make a statement that there is indeed a solid core group of born-again believers here in the Great West!
I welcome you with open arms to be a part of West Coast Christians if you and your site meet these few requirements:

You are a resident of one of the following states or provinces in or near the Pacific Time Zone: Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Alaska, Hawaii, or the Canadian provinces of British Columbia or Alberta.
Your site must contain some content identifying you as a born-again believer in Jesus Christ. Your site must not contain content, including links or web rings, that deal with any anti-Christian practices or beliefs, unacceptable language, etc. I will determine what constitutes unacceptable content.
It would be nice if your site contained some info, or at least a link or two, regarding the area of the West you live in and why you enjoy it, though this is not mandatory. However, somewhere on your site, you should at least identify the Western state or province you live in.
Blog owners, please note! I realize the ring code needs to be adjusted to fit the side margin of the blog. You MUST include, at a minimum, the link to Ringsurf, the link to the ring home page, the ring logo (OK to shrink size to fit the margin), the "owned by (link to your E-mail address)" and the "join", "next", "prev" and "list" links.
You are responsible for keeping your ring information (your URL and E-mail address) up to date. If either of these change, you MUST either log into RingSurf with your ring and site ID and password, or contact me to change your info. I periodically do ring checks, and if your ring code is missing or incomplete, your site may be removed from the ring and you will need to resubmit your site.

If this sounds like you, please fill out and submit the form below! Please also save the West Coast Christians logo, on the left side of the sample ring box below, by right-clicking on it. Put the HTML fragment on your site, following the instructions in the E-mail you will be sent. E-mail me when this has been done and I will check your page and add you to the ring. Thank you, and I look forward to having your site in WCC! God bless.
