Where things stand
Since 2023, the site has had a great three-year run. Time for its next chapter.
It still does its main job. The busywork behind it is where the time goes.
Requests scatter
Booking requests and questions arrive as separate emails, and it's on you to keep track of who's waiting to hear back.
The schedule is manual
Twelve month pages to update by hand every time a date is booked or passes.
Forms ask too much
A full mailing address and a 250-country list before a church can even ask about a date.
The plan
Three pieces that work together
1. A refreshed website
Not a rebuild. Same look, same photos, built around the church staff checking dates on their phone.
- Menu and "Book Gary" within thumb reach on phones
- Your next three events right up top
- A recent events photo wall you update yourself
- A two-minute booking form and swipeable endorsements
New mobile menu, closed and open
2. Your Ministry Hub
A private dashboard where every form on the site lands. Reply, track, and confirm bookings in one place.
- One inbox for booking requests and messages
- Reply from the hub; churches get a normal email
- Confirm a date and it appears on your website
- Upload event photos from your phone, straight to the site
3. Follow-up on autopilot
The jobs that usually fall through the cracks, handled for you.
- Holds and bookings sync to your Google Calendar
- Churches get an invoice they can pay online
- After each event, an endorsement request goes out; you approve before it's posted

Add event name and caption
Our students are still talking about Gary's messages on identity. He took time with every small group leader and made our whole weekend feel like one story.

Getting started
Three steps
Talk it through
A 30-minute call about how you handle bookings today, so the hub fits the way you already work.
Build and refresh
I set up your hub, bring in your current bookings, and refresh the website. You review before anything goes live.
Launch
A quick walkthrough and you're running. I handle the hosting and updates from there.
