Presbyterian News Service: Planned community

New highly-interactive GAMC Web site to debut at next summer’s GA.

LOUISVILLE — How do you design and construct a planned community for 2.2 million people?

The General Assembly Mission Council’s (GAMC) Creative Services team has been working on just such a task — a new GAMC Web site — and on Sept. 24 Creative Services Director Dianna Ott and Mission Communications Director Rob Bullock showed the council a preview of the  new site.

The top priority for the new site — the first top-to-bottom overhaul of the Web site in 10 years — “is to create a community where people can gather and talk and build networks together,” Ott said, “a place where Presbyterians can download material, tell each other their stories, load and watch videos of ministry and mission around the church.”

The new site is scheduled to be unveiled at the 219th General Assembly July 3-10 in Minneapolis. And it will take all the time between now and then to complete the massive project. …

We only got to see a very tiny peek, but what we saw was great!

    Wonderful! A well-designed website has such potential. Sharing our stories and videos, and connecting with people is exactly what I’d want in our PCUSA website. The current website has been frustrating for me to use since the beginning. Can’t wait for the new one.

    You aren’t the only one, Suzanne. I think the website has the potential to significantly improve our communication linkages throughout the denomination. May only wish is that it could be done sooner but it is a massive project.

    Sorry. All they have at this point is some test pages that bring you in through the front door and on to some basic features. We strongly warned not distribute URLs. I do suspect, however, we may see pieces of this role out prior to GA. I’m not promising anything.
