The Gathering

Background 

Located in Newton, Kansas, The Gathering is a non-denominational church “dedicated to following Jesus and seeing our region reborn.” Approximately 1,000 attendees meet weekly for worship in the historic Fox Theater in the heart of downtown Newton. 


The church and congregation were both growing, but their website had become stagnant and was no longer serving the church’s needs. Most of the graphic design work was being handled by the senior pastor, who had more important things to focus on. In short, they needed to make some drastic changes to their marketing but didn’t have the internal resources to pull it off.

On top of that, The Gathering was preparing to launch a giving campaign, which would be hampered by an outdated website and no dedicated graphic designer. Their church’s leadership realized they needed outside help to refresh their website if it was to continue serving the church. That’s when they contacted Clever.

The Clever team quickly stepped in to handle the design and development of a new WordPress site for the church. Thanks to some focused project management, the new site launched exactly one week before the giving campaign. Clever has continued to support the website with technical updates and upload new content, including sermon videos each week as well as on-going graphic design support. 

“I'm blown away by how seamlessly Clever combined the design elements with the look and feel of our new site, my expectations just got majorly exceeded. Nice work!”
