New Churches
A Growing Resource Hub for Church Planters
We partnered with New Churches, a ministry of the North American Mission Board, to design and develop a content-driven website that serves as a dynamic resource hub for church planters and multipliers. With a mobile-first design and robust search functionality, we made it easy for church leaders to access training and tools by topic and phase of the church planting process. By combining strategic content organization with a modern, scalable WordPress framework, we created a platform that not only reflects the core purpose of New Churches, but also empowers growth and engagement for their community.
Strategic Planning to Support Organizational Goals
The site needed to do two things exceptionally well: equip church planters with resources tailored to their stage in the church planting journey, and grow the New Churches community through increased engagement and memberships.
To support these goals, we built a custom content and engagement strategy. Resources are organized content by topic, format, and planter stage, so users can quickly find what’s most relevant to them. To access high-value resources like free e-books and online courses, users are prompted through clear paths to create an account. A user dashboard gives members a way to save and return to courses in progress.
A Clean, Editorial Look to Let the Content Shine
The New Churches team envisioned a clean, minimalist aesthetic with an editorial feel. We designed a streamlined layout that keeps the focus on the content, while still reflecting the energy of the growing movement. The result is a visually cohesive platform that feels current and credible.
Showcasing Contributors as Trusted Voices
The site features a wide network of pastors, thinkers, and practitioners who contribute resources. We created contributor landing pages that bring together each author’s content and can be tailored to reflect their personal brand. This approach builds trust, highlights the diversity of voices, and makes it easy for users to follow their favorite contributors.
Integrated Learning for Church Planters at Every Stage
To deliver a library of training and masterclasses, we integrated a learning management system (LMS) that supports multimedia content, multiple instructors, and a scalable structure. The system makes it easy for users to enroll and track progress in courses that align with their needs.
