A Digital Resource for the Church: The Center for Christian History Website

Case study · Non-profit

Center for Christian History: one trusted home for a weekly podcast and more.

I built and manage the Squarespace website for the Center for Christian History at Mississippi Christian University, so students and curious listeners can find the latest episode, see what's coming next, and stay connected in one place.

The challenge

A lot to share, and new content every week.

Founded by history professor Nick Walters, the Center publishes a weekly podcast with leading scholars, Christian History Chronicles, articles, seminars and plans for a free online Encyclopedia of Christian History.

All of that needed one home that feels as credible as the scholarship behind it, makes the newest episode easy to find, and stays simple to keep current week after week.

The plan

Three choices that keep listeners coming back.

Generic → Trusted

Look as credible as the content

A reverent navy-and-gold design with classic serif type, and the mission stated up front: truth you can trust, not an AI-generated summary.

Buried → Front door

Make the podcast the front door

The latest episode lives on the homepage with episode notes, a YouTube link and one-tap subscribe buttons for YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Facebook and Instagram.

One-time → Ongoing

Show what's coming next

An upcoming-episodes lineup with dates and guests, plus email sign-ups, give people a reason to return and a way to hear about the Encyclopedia first.
