Luther Place Memorial Church: Celebrating 150 Years of Ministry

​With its Smithsonian-red stone walls surrounded by beautiful and expansive gardens, Luther Place Memorial Church is a pretty iconic destination at Thomas Circle in Washington, D.C.

In 2023, this congregation celebrates its 150th anniversary which prompted Justin Fitch, Director of Communications & Liturgy, to reach out to Evoke about a logo and website redesign. Their previous logo was created by a former staff member and was lacking the necessary versions Justin needed. 
​

It was incredibly important that Luther Place's new identity honored its 150 years of history and Lutheran roots but also accurately represented the modern mission of the church to serve all of God’s beloved children! 

Evoke had the honor of assembling the congregation's annual report which was the first public communication utilizing the new visual identity—my goodness did it come to life! ​

​Next, the Evoke team tackled the website redesign and migration to a church-specific platform called FaithConnector. FaithConnector has an easy-to-use backend so even a website novice could create new pages and update ministry events without fear of "breaking" anything. 

​Although the church building is well recognized in the area, the redesigned website showcases the people of Luther Place and the work God is doing through the congregation. 

We centered the holy work of the congregation rather than the facilities in hopes of inspiring new visitors to learn more, get connected to a ministry, or participate in worship.
