Gateway Community Church - Church Website

Organization Background and Goals:

Gateway Community Church is a church located in the Dulles area of Northern Virginia. They have a strong focus on Christian community and relationships, both with God and with each other. Their goals for the website were to:

• Convey to the local community who they are, their vision, and what they believe.
• Convey Christian community, relationship and togetherness.
• Provide spiritual resources both to their community as well as to people around the world.
• Provide information on upcoming events and announcements.

Katalyst Role:

For Gateway Church, we redesigned the site from ground up, using their colors, logo, and members for many of the pictures. In order to better facilitate volunteer contribution and maintenance of the site, we implemented a content management solution, which will allow multiple volunteers to manage content on the site as well as provide a content approval process.
