Ministry in the Heart of the Nation's CapitolWhen your congregation is nestled in a Washington D.C. neighborhood just 1.5 miles north of the White House and 2 miles from the Capitol building, it is incredibly important and impactful to share the Good News of the Risen Christ with a broken and hurting world. As one of the first local congregations to racially integrate in the 1950s and to welcome and affirm people of the LGBTQIA+ community in the 1980s, Augustana Lutheran Church is known in the community as a diverse, welcoming place of worship. Yet, their visual identity was focused on a mission that the congregation was no longer living into. The previous website was also difficult to navigate, cumbersome to update with relevant information, and lacking visuals of the inclusive and energetic congregation that Augustana is today.
Pastor Lauren Jenkins was called to Augustana in the winter of 2020 and knew it was time and necessary for the congregation to showcase what the congregation values and to radically welcome all of God's beloved. Knowing that a majority of people are getting a glimpse of Augustana from their website before they even step foot into the physical building, it was important to Pastor Lauren and her team that the congregation has a visual identity and a website that accurately reflected the congregation. "One of the many things I appreciated about the process with Evoke was the collaborative approach," states Pastor Lauren. "Evoke employs a lovely balance of offering insight, expertise, and promoting best practices, while also listening deeply for the vision of the congregation it's working with. The result is that Augustana was truly 'seen' throughout the process, and that shines through in the website and visual identity!" A BIG thank you to the Augustana team for trusting Evoke with this project!
