The Foursquare Gospel Church – VGC Branch.
The Foursquare Church, officially named the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, is a Pentecostal denomination that resulted from the dynamic evangelistic ministry of Aimee Semple McPherson, who opened the historic Angelus Temple on Jan. 1, 1923.
In Nigeria, the Church started in October 1955 through the endeavours of a missionary couple; Rev and Mrs. Harold Curtis from USA. The registered headquarters in Nigeria is at 62/66 Akinwunmi Street Yaba, Lagos State. The Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria currently has about 4712 churches spread over 173 districts and 841 zones as at August 2023. The Church in Nigeria has also reached out to neighboring countries and had established in the Republic of Benin, Ghana, Gambia, Liberia, Cote de voire and Central African Republic. Most of these churches in the west coast have been nationalized.
Problem Statement:
Our church members in VGC face challenges accessing our services due to the absence of an online platform. Many members cannot attend in person, missing out on spiritual nourishment and community engagement.
Solution:
Developing a dedicated church website with a live-streaming feature will enable members to watch services online, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity for all. This platform will foster connection, allowing our congregation to participate in worship and community activities virtually, regardless of physical location.
My design Process
- I made researches by identifying the needs and preferences of the church. Analyzing other church websites for best practices and innovative features then i gathered all the provided contents, including sermons and event details.
- I established clear objectives for the website and set measurable goals.
- I created a sitemap to outline the website’s structure and navigation then i developed a content strategy to organize and prioritize information effectively.
- Then lastly i developed a visual identity that reflects the church’s values, mission, and personality then i proceeded to design wireframes, Low-fidelity design , mockups, and high-fidelity designs for key pages, focusing on user experience and accessibility.
Here are some pages of the website, but you can get the full experience by visiting https://4sqrvgc.org/
