Build

Tools for Ministry

Websites, online stores, and automation for Centers for Spiritual Living and other spiritual communities, built by a minister who knows what a Sunday actually takes.

Technology in service of community

Community is the lens I bring to every ministry decision, and technology is no exception. A good website, a simple store, or a quiet bit of automation should give a minister more time with people, not more time at a keyboard.

I studied graphic design at UNLV, and I've built about half a dozen ministry websites over the years. I'm also an assistant minister, so I understand the rhythm of a center from the inside: the Sunday announcements, the prayer requests, the classes, the giving, and the volunteers who keep it all running.

I work with the platforms many centers already use. The CSL St. George website is built in Tithe.ly, which brings the website, online giving, and the church app together in one place.

What I build

Websites

A new site or a refresh of the one you have, designed to welcome first-time visitors and serve your members, with your talks, classes, events, and giving in one easy place.

Online stores

A merchant store attached to your website, so your community can find books, classes, and center merchandise without a separate system to manage.

Automation and AI

Thoughtful automation for the repetitive work that eats a minister's week, so the systems carry the routine and you stay present for the people.

Work I've built

The Local Light

A monthly newsletter for the spiritual, metaphysical, and holistic wellness community of St. George and Southern Utah, produced with a custom newsletter builder I designed so each issue comes together quickly.

The Desert Light

A monthly community newsletter for the Death Valley corridor, with an events calendar, a business directory, and its own custom builder tool behind the scenes.

This website

The site you're reading. Every week it gathers my newest essays from Medium and adds them here on its own, and my talks play right on the page. Nobody has to remember to update it.

How we work together

Listen

We start with a conversation about your community, what's working, and what's taking more of your time than it should.

Build

I design and build, and I keep you involved along the way so the result sounds and feels like your center.

Hand off

I make sure you and your team know how to update it yourselves, so it keeps serving you long after launch.
