The screenshots look great. The soft cream backgrounds, deep navy header card, and gold/amber accents give it a clean, welcoming feel. Showing the multi-step VIP Pass workflow, multi-campus selection (Marysville/Everett), teaching media gallery, and digital giving engine proves it's a complete ecosystem rather than just a basic brochure.

Executive Overview
Cascade Grace Church is a mobile-first digital front door web application engineered to remove social anxiety for first-time church visitors, streamline volunteer sign-ups, and unify digital giving across multiple Snohomish County campuses.
Many local churches struggle with outdated websites that bury basic service times under endless menus, force first-time guests through clunky contact forms, or rely on third-party portals that break on mobile screens. Cascade Grace Church unifies visitor onboarding ("Plan Your Visit VIP Pass"), sermon media streaming, event volunteer sign-ups, and 1-tap recurring giving into a single native-feeling web app.
The Operational Challenge
Regional churches and non-profit organizations face three core digital engagement hurdles:
First-Time Visitor Friction: Unfamiliarity with kids' check-in locations, parking, or arrival times creates friction for new families searching online.
Disconnected Media & Discussion Assets: Congregants often have to look in separate places for live service streams, podcast audio, and weekly small group discussion guides.
Multi-Campus Administrative Drag: Managing multiple locations (e.g., Marysville Main vs. Everett Campus) on legacy platforms often leads to inconsistent service times and scattered volunteer rosters.
The Solution: 3-Pillar Church Operations Engine
Key Technical & UX Features
Interactive VIP Visitor Pass: A guided 3-step intake that captures arrival times, family kids' check-in details, and campus preferences so greeting teams can send personalized welcome texts.
Multi-Campus Selector: Clean radio button cards displaying service times and physical addresses for Marysville Main, Everett, and Online campuses.
Dynamic Digital Giving Module: Allows one-time or recurring contributions across specific funds (General Ministry, Local Outreach, Youth Camp) with preset dollar buttons ($25, $50, $100) and custom input fields.
Serve & Event Roster Counter: Lists local community initiatives (e.g., Community Food Bank Drive, Weekend Serve Team) with real-time open volunteer spot badges (
12 volunteer spots open).Business Impact & Results
Higher First-Time Visitor Retention: The VIP Pass workflow sets expectations before guests arrive on campus, increasing first-time visitor retention.
Simplified Digital Stewardship: 1-tap giving choices reduce friction for recurring donors across desktop and mobile devices.
Automated Volunteer Coordination: Live spot counters prevent overbooking for community outreach drives and automate volunteer check-ins.
