Title, date, and a short excerpt — the standard news card.
Brand
University Reformed Church
To create a site that serves Christ well through the means of URC.
The site has these three primary functions:
- To serve the current URC members in ways that help them in their walk and participation being part of the community of URC
- To attract people in the community who do not attend URC to visit, grow, and become involved in the church.
- To be a light to the greater church and world with any content that can be shared digitally from which they can benefit
Sensible, grounded, informal but not hip. Traditional without being uptight. Use this page when you need the logo, colors, or type for a print piece, slide, or ministry graphic.
Voice is warm and straightforward. Christ-centered, without jargon or hype. Plain sentences over flourish.
