The Community Center @ AFC is an outreach ministry of the people of Anderson First Church of the Nazarene who want to make a difference in their local community. Their desire is to create a radically inclusive, just, and loving community while connecting families to each other and to invite them into a relationship with Jesus Christ by being his hands and feet.
The Community Center @ AFC had a humble beginning as a small food pantry but had big goals to expand into a full-service community center to support every aspect of a family’s need to thrive. Their previous digital presence consisted of one small landing page. As the organization grew, the landing page did not provide the online real-estate they needed to accurately educate and engage their community.
Here are the results:
Because the Community Center offers many programs and serves a diverse audience, they needed a site that had a very intuitive navigation that would easily lead the viewer through the different activities, classes, and events being offered at the community center. With different spaces open to the public at different times of the day, they also needed a high-level space on the site to offer real-time hours of operation for various activities.
To better capture the essence of The Community Center at AFC, it was essential to showcase the vibrant interactions and connections happening within the community. Element212 provided professional photography and videography services to emphasize the relationships and human element that support the center’s focus on serving people.
The Community Center offers a wide range of events and spaces available for public use. It was important to have easy access to each event or space opportunity with an intuitive rental process.
The Community Center has created a very specific culture and identity as a community advocate. It was important for Element212 to capture their tone and personality and to develop a website design that carried out their unique culture and service. Through content and imagery, we achieved building a quality online presence that achieved the goals of the community center.
This new website has given The Community Center @ AFC a platform on which to engage its community with more meaningful and intuitive touch points. Following the launch of the new website, The Community Center @ AFC received positive feedback from their team and customers.Most importantly, The Community Center has a beautiful and intuitive digital space to engage and educate the community to continue to reach more people.
