Elevation Church

Elevation Church operates 18 physical locations across three states and Canada, with roughly 26,000 weekly in-person attendees (2018).

They partnered with us to build engaged digital communities that extend beyond content consumption — enabling people to grow spiritually regardless of physical location.

Elevation had partnered with a third-party app provider specializing in church technology. The vendor's one-size-fits-most approach created constraints that became problematic for an agile organization.

Live streaming was unstable, update cycles were slow, and weekend support was limited — critical days for churches. The platform also provided insufficient analytics, preventing the church from understanding which content resonated with the online congregation.

While Elevation had in-house web developers, mobile app development was unfamiliar territory. They sought an external partner to build a custom solution, then hire an internal developer to manage it long-term.
