After an extended effort to develop our mission and vision, First Free Church focused on imagery and branding. This is the final product.

Additional Extensions (Components, Modules, Plug ins): Sermon Speaker, Staff Master, Docman, Google Maps,
Custom Development: template customization, components and mods tweaked, imagery/branding, logo, compilation of sermons and content,
Other Features: I spent considerable time (6 months) consolidating 7 internal applications into a single online solution - Connection Power. The implementation started in May and was up and running on July 1st, with tons of training for staff. The calendar integrates with an iframe, and we are working on integrating a few other back end applications.
Thanks again to Rockettheme for giving me a great starting point.
Good point, it is our vision and mission which is our focus.
We went back and forth on the drawing, but the drawing was an original 'conception', with the existing building being a bit different.
We are working to be debt free with a great effort going to pay off the building (should be complete in under 3 years) We decided to include the drawing (and not an actual image) for a few reasons:
- it is a good way for new people to identify the building/location when they drive back to the church (we are a bit hidden from the road)
- the building serves as a great resource for ministries and community services.
- people like to see the fruit of their investments, even if the building is just a physical representation of the ministries we serve.
It turns out much better as the content has begun to fill out with image galleries, a history of sermons, document downloads...It really has taken awhile to truly take shape.
Still a few tweeks and additions, but it is 90% complete.
