The block church website tells you a lot about their
religious identity. Through the pictures, videos, text, categories, etc. you
are able to tell a lot about the block church community. The website is mainly pictures and one video of a sermon. In almost all of the
pictures on their website it is filled with multiple people. One could take
that to mean that the pictures communicates their value of community especially
involving the youth, who are also in those pictures. The first thing you see
when you click on the website is a group of people who appears to be at a
service with people in the background playing music while someone is being baptized.
The photo above is a very powerful picture that communicates their religious identity as Christians. From the text on the website you see how important the phrase “the block” is. In one section on the initial page of the website there are three subcategories all starting with the block: the block kids, the block youth, the block worship. Based off of the pictures and videos it can be understood that “the block” signifies the community and this is how they refer to the people in that community.
Again, these sub categories also signify how important and the youth are to this community. Another thing that stands out on the website is the fact that most of the pictures on the website are black and white. The only pictures that are in color are the ones that lead to another area on the website such as there is a picture with the category “get baptized” which again signify their Christian identity.
Also, on the website there are multiple different locations and service times linked with the directions in multiple states and areas in Philadelphia as the photo shows below.
This speaks to how important community is to them no matter distance. It is clear that baptism, the community (especially the youth), and the Christian faith (offering services) are important to the block church.

You provides some thoughtful observations, but would like you provide more details to describe your claims as well as images or links to illustrate and back up your observations.
