After our initial meeting with Pastor Issac, we began working on new logos and prototypes of a new website. We realized that Hagan’s wants to be a modern, nondenominational church, but they are currently having a difficult time of it because of their location. After meeting with them online, our next step was to visit the church in person.
Before we arrived, we were already taken aback by the round about, bumpy, single lane road that we had to take to get to the church. One we finally arrived, we were struck by the culture of the church. We walked in and the entire place looked like it was in the middle of a botched renovation attempt. Many walls did not have sheetrock. The stairs had some carpet on them, but were mostly wood. The floor was uneven and a potential tripping hazard. As we went on a tour of the church, the assistant pastor described their situation as, “very technological” which was a clear indication of their lack of understanding around modern technology. When the service began, we were surprised to find out that there was no live music. The way that they worship is by pirating music videos off of YouTube, and then projecting them.
As we continued our time at Hagan’s we realized that we could do a lot of good for the church. We left Hagan’s knowing that we had a lot of work ahead of us, but we knew that it would be worth it.
