Case Study: Woodbury Lutheran Church achieves major web engagement growth with Ekklesia360

Woodbury Lutheran Church - Customer Case Study

Woodbury Lutheran Church, mid-way through a three-year growth plan, faced a “hot mess” website that was visually cluttered, jargon-heavy, and hard for visitors to navigate. Leadership wanted the site to serve as a welcoming “front door,” provide clear next steps for newcomers and members, and act as a one-stop hub for programs, sermons, event registration and giving.

Partnering with Ekklesia 360, Woodbury completed a Mission Online Assessment and content-strategy process, then launched a custom CMS with features like Invite a Friend, a filterable Class Finder, Prayer Engine, campus selector and an integrated social plan. In a 90-day review they saw a 23% increase in site visitors, 49% growth in mobile traffic, a 404% increase on the Small Groups page and 452 visits to the new Classes page — measurable engagement gains that are helping advance their growth plan.
