Mission Hill Church
Traverse City, Michigan
"We lovingly help people find their way to Christ"
Mission Hill has roots stretching back to 1863, when ten families gathered in a log cabin in northern Michigan. Today they're an independent, non-denominational congregation in Traverse City led by Pastor Chad Oyer. They needed a website that honored over 160 years of history while reaching people who've never set foot inside.

Custom Design & Build
160 years of history, a website built for today.
Mission Hill started in a log cabin in 1863. The mission hasn't changed, but the tools have. We built them a site that serves the Traverse City community the way they always have — with warmth, clarity, and an open door.
"I'm New" Visitor Page
A dedicated page for first-time guests with a prominent "I'm New" button in the navigation. Service times, what to expect, and a warm invitation — all in one spot so nobody has to guess.
Sermon Archive & Livestream
Every message searchable and on-demand, plus live Sunday streaming. Someone who visits the site on Tuesday can watch last week's sermon and show up Sunday already feeling connected.
Daycare Section
A full daycare area built into the site with its own navigation item. Parents in Traverse City searching for childcare find Mission Hill before they even know it's a church — and that's a powerful first impression.
Next Steps Pathway
A "Starting Point" membership class and clear next-steps section that walks people from visitor to member to volunteer. Growth doesn't happen by accident — it happens by design.
Online Giving
Giving portal accessible from the main navigation on every page. Secure, simple, and always one tap away — because people give when the moment moves them, not when they remember later.
Prayer Requests
An online prayer request form that lets people reach out privately. Not everyone is ready to raise a hand in a room full of people. This gives them a quiet way to say "I need help."
Built to feel like finding your way home.
A church that says "we lovingly help people find their way" needs a site that does the same. Every page guides visitors toward connection.
