The brief

Arbor Street Church is a made-up neighborhood church in Whittier with two Sunday services, kids programs from birth through 5th grade and groups during the week.

Most people find a church online before they ever walk in. They want to know when to come, where to park, what happens to their kids and whether they’ll be singled out. Most church sites lead with a welcome video and an events calendar.

The idea

The hymn board’s numbers, set huge

The Sunday times fill the first screen in thin black numerals, and everything else reads like an index: hairline rows under a small column header, with a black dot for “on”, such as kids programs running or the latest sermon. The header is one more row with “I’m new” as its last column. Photos are plain rectangles with captions, page heads are one big light title over a hairline, and the footer ends with the times again. Black and white only; Be Vietnam Pro in light weights.

Design decisions

Plan the first Sunday

Pick a service and who’s coming, and the page returns when to arrive, where to park, which room each child goes to, seating for a wheelchair or a hearing aid, and the clock time for each part of the service.

Answer the nervous questions

What to wear, whether guests are asked to give, whether kids can stay in the room, and a plain promise that nobody is asked to stand up.

Sermons people can find

An archive by series, book and search, with the passage, the length and two questions for the week under every sermon.
