    Harvest Bible Chapel - Portland Maine, selects iMinistries for their new church website!


    It was a pleasure to work with Senior Pastor Bill Foss to get their new church website setup on the iMinistries Church CMS. Like everyone, he wanted to be sure that his church website truly reflected the region in which the Lord has placed them in. We were able to get this design accomplished because our designer was humble enough to learn from Bill what truly represented Portland, Maine instead of creating a design based on a mid-westerner's point of view.

After it was approved, we applied it to their existing website and in a blink, their church website was transformed.

    WedWednesdaySepSeptember15th2010 Harves Bible Chapel - Fresno If you are looking for a great Bible-believing church in the Fresno, California area, then your search is officially over. Formerly known as Sunriver Community Church, Senior Pastor Ben Dosti leads the charge for Harvest Bible Chapel Fresno.

    We are thankful for the additional ministry and partnership that Harvest Fresno provides, and we think their website turned out pretty well. We modified the Harvest Skin by adding a breathtaking scenic shot of the California mountains. What a great way to celebrate the majesty of our Creator God, and display the beauty of the region simultaneously!

    While we do offer Managed, Design, and SEO services to our customers, our heart is not to replace the talent that you have in your church body.


    Harvest Bible Chapel - Prescott knows this and tapped the shoulder of a volunteer in their church to help them come up with some of their new design. Their starting point was the founding Harvest Bible Chapel’s layout, but changed a few things to make it their own.

    ThuThursdayJunJune10th2010 Harvest Bible Chapel - Woodhull We never get tired of bringing on church websites for Harvest Bible Chapel. This time, we are happy to announce a new location, Woodhull, Illinois. Senior Pastor Jim Shannon is grateful to be working with the people of Woodhull and is excited to see what the Lord will do.

    FriFridayMayMay7th2010 Harvest Bible Chapel - Denver Harvest Bible Chapel Denver has now been planted and they too selected the iMinistries powerful church content management system to run their website. We won't clutter up this blog post with our thoughts for we think this quote says it all. Thank you Jeff! May the Lord bless Harvest Bible Chapel Denver in ways that prove that it is not man who does the work, but Jesus Christ!

    Travis, David, and iMinistries team,

    Thank you so much for your dedication, time, and effort of building a great site for our church. Your artistic abilities, timeliness, competitive pricing, and comprehensive approach were first class all the way.

    Working with iMinistries was a tremendous blessing. A functional and sharp website is very important and yet most of us do not have the expertise or the language to describe exactly what we want. During this project, everyone on staff took the time to help me understand the process and made me feel like my project was of the utmost importance. The entire staff worked very promptly to get our website completed and beyond our expectations.

    Having worked with other web designers in the past who use their level of expertise to overcharge, procrastinate, and make you feel inferior, I was nervous about this project. To my great delight I found working with the staff a great encouragement. I would highly recommend iMinistries to anyone who desires affordable web pricing, a great design, a personable staff, a high level of expertise, a system that is easy to learn and adapt, and a group of people who truly love the Lord and desire to use their gifts to serve Him.

    I look forward to staying connected with all of you and appreciate all you have done to help us launch Harvest Bible Chapel Denver!

    God’s richest blessings,
    Jeff
    TueTuesdayMarMarch30th2010 Harvest Bible Chapel - Tampa We started the project for Harvest Bible Chapel Tampa's website on March 15. We had the website populated and launched by March 25.

    Utilizing the Harvest skin and customizing it to Senior Pastor Rich Culp's specifications (Culp went with the pewter and red accent colors of Tampa's NFL franchise, the Buccaneers), and our comprehensive Harvest Church Plant Package, site setup was a snap.



    Not only is the website beautiful, functional, and versatile, [but] you and the folks at iMinistries are incredibly patient and helpful. As a preacher, I would rather stand up in front of 3,000 people than touch a single widget of a website. Before going into this process, I did not even know what a URL was or for that matter what three words begin with U...R…L unless they meant “U R a Loser Rich” when it comes to websites.

    Now I am conquering website administration…I even know how to set up a Rotator...

    You guys have been more than long-suffering to work with me over the phone because I could not even find the HELP button much less understand the lingo in the support desk. All that to say, iMinistries well reflects the servant-heart nature of our Lord. He said that the greatest in the Kingdom is the one who serves. Thanks for serving the Kingdom with great websites.

    For His Glory
    By His Grace

    FriFridayMarMarch5th2010 Harvest Bible Chapel - Dallas Chris Keathly from the Harvest Bible Chapel church plant in Dallas, Texas took advantage of iMinistries' Harvest Church Plant Package. For his customized Harvest Skin, Keathly chose Dallas Cowboys blue to display his pride in the local NFL franchise.



    After his site was set up and live, Keathly had only good things to say about his iMinistries website and experience.
    Travis,

    Man you have NO IDEA how fast and Incredible this is. When I did this with my last church, it was VERY LABOR intensive, more complicated, more expensive and not half as convenient to work on and in my humble opinion did not look near as good. If you want me to do a commercial for you, I will! :)

    Thanks again for all your help and the quick responses!
    MonMondayDecDecember14th2009 Harvest Bible Chapel - London Harvest London has been a long standing partner in ministry with iMinistries. Immediately after creating our new Harvest Plant Package option, London contacted us and wanted to make the change. We certainly love getting to work with them every year.

    TueTuesdayDecDecember1st2009 Harvest Bible Chapel - Calgary For new Harvest Bible Chapel church plants, continuing the look and feel of founding Harvest is important to them. One easy way they can accomplish this on their church website is by customizing the Harvest skin to their ministry. Plants in Austin, Texas and Durham, Canada chose new colors, the images of their city's skyline, their pastors, and other themes, and a customized Harvest logo in their skin to give a fresh feel to an existing look.

    The Harvest plant in Calgary, Alberta, chose to capitalize on its city's (and country's) love of hockey and incorporate it in its skin. Pastor Trevor Peacock selected the deep red of his city's hockey team, the Calgary Flames, and used it as his website's background color and the team's arena home as its header image. The result is a site that pops off the screen and immediately relates to its city's people.

    With Peacock posting regular updates in his blog and with his Twitter feed embedded on his homepage, Calgary locals are sure to keep coming back.


    SatSaturdayNovNovember21st2009 Harvest Bible Chapel - Kansas City The new Harvest church plant in Kansas City went the way of the plants in Austin, Durham, and Calgary and customized the Harvest skin to their ministry.

    Pastor Jeff Terrell chose a bright blue for his background and a Bible for his header and his blog is up and running.


    MonMondayNovNovember9th2009 Harvest Bible Chapel - Durham
    Like Harvest's church plant in Austin, Texas, the new Harvest plant in Durham, Canada chose to customize the skin Baron3 created for founding Harvest on their church website. Pastor Ian Hales picked an open Bible and the image of wheat for his header and a rich blue for his background color.

    Hales has embedded a Twitter feed on his site, links visitors to his Facebook page, and, using our Widget feature, has embedded his latest blog entries on to his homepage.



    TueTuesdayNovNovember3rd2009 Harvest Bible Chapel - Austin While Harvest's church plant in Austin, Texas prepares for its launch in fall 2010, its website is already up and running.

    Customizing the skin iMinistries created for founding Harvest, Pastor Bryan Payne chose to display Austin's city skyline in his header and the local university's burnt orange for his website's background.

    Payne has found it easy to utilize our Content Management System and has already posted several videos and regularly adds new entries in his blog to keep future church updated.


    MonMondayAugAugust17th2009 Harvest Bible Chapel - Founding Church You might already know that using a content management system to keep your website up to date has its advantages. But what do you do when you want to redesign your church's website?

    Does it require a "Herculean" effort by many staff members? Are you forced to set up a brand new website or can a new design be applied to your existing content? There are a growing number of churches that have multiple locations now, so what if you need to expand your one website into multiple websites that are campus specific?

    While we provide services to many small churches and organizations, we can also handle that "Herculean" effort.

    Almost three years to the day, the founding Harvest Bible Chapel has successfully relaunched their website(s). This time, with a different flare though. Their previous website housed all of its ministries on each of their four campuses. We helped them transition to six campus-specific websites that their staff can manage.



    Their main site, http://www.harvestbiblechapel.org, provides all-campus information and resources. It also acts as a springboard to the campus websites. This helped to solve their growing menu crowding and site clutter.

    While there were many hours invested in the design, created by Baron3 Visual Communications, the actual process of going from one website to six took twelve hours and three staff members Friday night and Saturday morning. It was well worth it!

    Check out the new campus sites by visiting the main site and clicking the campus links, or click on the links below.
