Case Study

Asheville Church

Overview



Asheville Church is a non-denominational congregation of disciples located in Ashville, NC. The church is comprised of people from a variety of backgrounds, ethnic groups, and walks of life who are united by the cross and an overwhelming need for God's grace.

Jon Sherwood, lead minister of Asheville Church, came to us with the need for an attractive and robust web platform that could grow with them as their church grew. As a web designer himself, Jon worked with our Flex design editor to create a fresh online presence that reflects the artsy and eclectic appeal of the Asheville community.



















The Challenge



Without a great online presence, the team at Asheville felt they could not represent Jesus and His church to the surrounding community. 

Specifically, they were looking for an all-in-one package that included a number of key features:
  • A simple church website management platform that would help them achieve a quality design aesthetic.
  • A robust back-end with ministry-tailored administrative features such as member directories, giving, registrations and calendar integration.
  • Download and podcasting capabilities.
  • An integrated mobile app that syncs with their website, eliminating double entry.

The Process


The team at Asheville Church jumped into the Flex design editor and put the system to the test without too much involvement from the FaithConnector team. Using the built-in tools and templates, he easily created a beautiful and effective presence for Asheville Church.

Imagery


Asheville, North Carolina, marries the beauty of the surrounding mountains with urban and eclectic city life. The imagery used throughout this site evokes a sense of discovery and adventure, while hinting at the modern, "stay weird" culture of the inner city.

Media


Asheville Church used our built-in media feature to great effect. Each of their video lessons is displayed in our special media player widget on their home page for quick access to the latest uploads. And, with the click of a button, users can access the full media library.

Social Outreach


Like many modern churches, Asheville Church uses social media to engage their members and bolster their outreach. They've included a large Instagram feed on the home page to reflect the personality of their ministry. Links to various platforms with sharing capabilities help connect their web users with their social media community.

From The Client



As a web designer, I have worked with many platforms. For churches and non-profits, FaithConnector's flexible and robust platform is a great way to get up and running efficiently and effectively. I was able to get our website designed and fully functional in just a weekend! 

We love the simplicity of the church website management interface and Flex design editor as well as the thought-out administrative backend functionality. The simple SEO features help us rank well in google searches, and the free mobile app helps our church family stay connected.

FaithConnector continues to grow with us as we plant churches and expand into the surrounding communities. They are the all-in-one solution that's given us a great online "base camp."
