I had worked with Lake Park Lutheran church staff in the past to help with updating & training on their previous site when the web person had moved on. It had become clear that their old website template wasn’t an accurate depiction of the community at Lake Park Lutheran (For one, the main header image was a picture of half dead trees. Which quickly became a funny inside joke around the church office), and that they would need to upgrade to a custom website.
The end result allows for much more flexibility and gives a much more welcoming feel (especially more welcoming than the dead tree photo 
) All areas of the church’s website are editable by the staff, and training was provided before the site launch. Also having multiple site editors/administrators has helped them to keep the site alive and up-to-date.

the goal for this website was to create something that could be very easily updated. so i set up the whole site on wordpress, and gave pastor gaeta the login information and let her go to town with adding content. i also created a flickr account to make it easy for anyone to upload more pictures.

after joining divine word lutheran church, i was quickly put to work with helping out. one of the first projects was a logo design. after several other ideas, this design was created using an actual small communion glass from the church that is used every week. one of aspects that stood out to me about this church (and one of the main reasons for joining) was the strong sense of community. in a very diverse congregation, in a very diverse area of the city, the community remains one of the key elements of this church body. another goal of the logo design was to illustrate the “traditional” and the “new” coinciding together in harmony. also it was my distinct goal to stay away from any form of cross, for many reasons. but the main reason is because many of the church members and visitors have been hurt by, discriminated against, or just plain rejected by Christians and people who claim to be Christian. divine word lutheran is a much different church, and needed to be represented as such.

a logo design for a small church on the east side of milwaukee. logo is created using the actual stained glass window of the church. focus on the play between traditional and contemporary was very important here.
