Helping an Established Church Enter a New Chapter
How 323 Solutions helped Prince of Peace Lutheran Church become Risen Savior Englewood — creating a new campus identity, rebuilding its digital front door, and establishing the systems needed for the transition.
When 323 began working with Prince of Peace in late 2025, the church was navigating two significant changes at the same time. Its existing website had been built primarily for current members, while the congregation itself was preparing to become part of Risen Savior as its Englewood campus.
The challenge was bigger than a website redesign or a new logo. Englewood needed to become unmistakably part of Risen Savior while retaining enough local personality to feel authentic to the congregation and community already there.

Five Transformations
Risen Savior Englewood was not starting from scratch. The work required honoring an established congregation while helping it step into a new identity, a new digital experience, and a stronger connection to the broader Risen Savior ministry.

Change Without Losing Continuity.
The transition needed to communicate something new without suggesting that everything before it had been discarded. The result is a campus that can move forward as Risen Savior Englewood while remaining rooted in the congregation and community already there.
From Prince of Peace to Risen Savior Englewood
The transition required more than changing a name. Prince of Peace already had a congregation, history, and local recognition. The new identity needed to communicate that the church was now part of Risen Savior while still feeling like a natural continuation of the ministry already rooted in Englewood.
Prince of Peace
An established congregation with its own history, recognition, relationships, and place in the Englewood community.
Risen Savior
A recognizable parent identity providing shared visual language, ministry connection, and brand continuity across campuses.
Risen Savior Englewood
A local expression of the Risen Savior family with its own visual personality and clear connection to the congregation's new chapter.
Familiar Enough to Connect.
Different Enough to Belong.
Englewood should not look like an unrelated church, but it also should not feel like a duplicate of Lakewood Ranch. The identity needed a clear family resemblance while leaving room for local character.
Risen Savior name, logo architecture, ministry relationship, and recognizable visual lineage.
Englewood-specific color palette, presentation, imagery, and community personality.
Designed to Complement the Risen Savior Family
The Englewood color system was developed to sit comfortably beside the established Lakewood Ranch identity without simply reproducing it. The goal was a visual relationship that felt intentional across the organization while giving Englewood a distinct expression.
A New Identity Without Erasing the Story Before It
- An established local congregation
- Existing relationships and ministry history
- The church's physical presence in Englewood
- The mission of sharing Christ with the community
- A new Risen Savior campus identity
- Updated visual and color system
- A visitor-first digital experience
- New website and digital asset ecosystem
The goal was not to make Prince of Peace disappear. It was to help an established congregation move confidently into its next chapter as Risen Savior Englewood.
From Member-Focused to Visitor-First
Prince of Peace already had a website, but the experience was primarily structured around people who already knew the church. As the congregation became Risen Savior Englewood, the website became an opportunity to rethink who the digital front door was actually for.
Useful If You Already Knew Where to Look
The existing site served as an information resource, but much of the experience assumed familiarity with Prince of Peace, its ministries, and the way the congregation operated.
- Built around existing-member needs
- Limited newcomer orientation
- Older digital experience
- Visitor questions were not the primary organizing principle
Designed for Someone Who Has Never Visited
The new site introduces Risen Savior Englewood from a newcomer's perspective — helping someone understand the church, know what to expect, and confidently take a first step.
- Clear worship and location information
- Visitor-first navigation
- Stronger explanation of beliefs and ministries
- Clear pathways toward visiting and connecting
Start With What a Visitor Needs to Know.
Someone arriving through Google may know almost nothing about Risen Savior, Prince of Peace, Lutheran worship, or even what happens when they arrive. The website needs to reduce that uncertainty before asking them to visit.
When is worship?
Where is the church?
What should I expect?
What does this church believe?
Is there something for me or my family?
How do I take the next step?
The Website Also Had to Explain a Changing Identity.
The new site needed to welcome prospective visitors while also making the transition from Prince of Peace to Risen Savior Englewood understandable. That meant clearly communicating a new campus name and visual identity without treating the congregation's previous story as if it had never existed.
Discovery Should Lead Somewhere.
Encounter Risen Savior Englewood through search, Maps, Facebook, or another channel.
Learn who the church is, what it believes, and what happens on Sunday.
Find worship times, directions, and practical information before arriving.
Walk through the door with fewer unanswered questions.
Begin building relationships with the congregation and ministries.
The new website wasn't designed primarily for the person who already knew Prince of Peace. It was designed for the person asking, “Could Risen Savior Englewood be the church I'm looking for?”
Carrying Local Recognition Into a New Identity
Changing a church's name affects more than the sign outside. Search engines, Maps, Facebook, websites, and other digital sources all help people understand what an organization is. As Prince of Peace became Risen Savior Englewood, those signals needed to tell the same story.
The Congregation Didn't Move.
Its Identity Did.
The people, ministry, and local presence already existed in Englewood. What changed was the name and relationship to the larger Risen Savior ministry.
That meant the digital transition needed to help both people and search platforms understand that Risen Savior Englewood was the next chapter of the congregation they may have previously known as Prince of Peace.
One Campus. One Story Across Every Digital Touchpoint.
323 worked across the major digital assets people use to discover and evaluate a local church, making the new Englewood identity increasingly consistent wherever someone encountered it.
Digital Authority
Establish the primary source for the Englewood campus name, ministry information, worship details, and visitor experience.
Local Discovery
Optimize the Google Business Profile so local searchers receive accurate campus information when they search or use Maps.
Social Presence
Bring the social identity into alignment with the new campus branding and provide another pathway for community engagement.
Entity Consistency
Reduce conflicting identity signals across the digital ecosystem as the Prince of Peace name transitions to Risen Savior Englewood.
People Shouldn't Have to Solve the Transition Themselves.
A prospective visitor may encounter the church through several different channels before ever visiting. Conflicting names, branding, or information can introduce uncertainty at exactly the moment the digital experience should be building confidence.
Search engines need consistent signals about the campus identity.
Location information should lead visitors to the correct congregation.
The website should clearly introduce the new campus and visitor experience.
Social channels reinforce the campus identity through current activity.
A Search Should Lead to a Clear Answer.
Someone looks for a church, Lutheran church, or worship opportunity in Englewood.
Google, Maps, social, and the website consistently identify Risen Savior Englewood.
The visitor learns what the church believes, when it worships, and what to expect.
Accurate information makes the transition from online discovery to an in-person visit easier.
The objective wasn't to erase Prince of Peace from the internet overnight. It was to steadily establish Risen Savior Englewood as the clear digital identity of the congregation moving forward.
Building the Foundation Behind the New Campus
The transition to Risen Savior Englewood was visible through the new brand and website, but some of the most important work happened behind the scenes. 323 helped establish Google Workspace as a more professional and scalable foundation for communication, collaboration, and administration.
More Than New Email Addresses
Establishing Google Workspace gave Risen Savior Englewood a consistent environment for church communication and internal collaboration as it entered the broader Risen Savior organization.
The goal was to create a foundation that could support the campus today while giving pastors, staff, and ministry leaders room to build more structured digital workflows in the future.
Consistent Identity
Professional campus email reinforces the Risen Savior Englewood identity across internal and external communication.
Easier Collaboration
Shared files, calendars, and documents create a common workspace for pastors, staff, and ministry leaders.
Better Continuity
Ministry information can live within church-managed systems rather than depending entirely on individual accounts or devices.
Ready to Expand
A common technology platform creates a stronger base for future workflows, communications, and ministry systems.
The Public Experience and the Internal Foundation Needed to Move Together.
A new campus identity is stronger when the systems behind it reflect the same transition. The website, local listings, email environment, and internal tools all became part of establishing Risen Savior Englewood as one coherent organization.
- Brand identity
- Website
- Google Business Profile
- Professional email
- Shared documents
- Calendars
- Collaboration tools
A new campus identity works best when the transformation extends beyond what visitors see. The systems behind the ministry need to support the new chapter too.
A New Chapter, Built to Last
The transition from Prince of Peace to Risen Savior Englewood was more than a change of name. It required a new identity, a stronger digital front door, clearer local signals, and an internal foundation capable of supporting the congregation moving forward.
Honor the Past
Preserve the history, relationships, and local character already established by Prince of Peace.
Establish the Identity
Introduce Risen Savior Englewood as a clear member of the broader Risen Savior family with its own local personality.
Welcome the Visitor
Build a digital experience around someone discovering the church for the first time.
Build the Foundation
Align the website, local presence, communications, and internal technology around the congregation's next chapter.
The goal wasn't to replace the story of Prince of Peace. It was to give that story a strong next chapter as Risen Savior Englewood.
