Sanibel Community Church logo

Sanibel Community Church sits on Sanibel Island in Florida, with a sanctuary, a historic chapel, and a fellowship hall. The operations contact runs point on graphic requests, and the lead pastor signs off on the bigger pieces.

The work

The first wave of work was social and email infrastructure. Monthly header images for the SCC Updates weekly email that goes out through Mailchimp. Pre-service slides for the sanctuary screens. A baptism certificate personalized to Sanibel with the SCC logo and a beachy character.

The biggest stretch of work was the Easter 2026 season. Easter Sunday worship services, Good Friday service, a Good Friday newspaper ad, the SCC Kids Easter Egg Hunt collateral set (bulletin board flyer, lawn signs, church bulletin, social graphic), a Men's Retreat, a Women's Brunch with a guest from Sea Glass Mission, the Second Sundays at Six Corporate Prayer Service, and a Campus Work Day flyer.

When slides were projected on the sanctuary screens, some text was hard to read where the font hit a color transition in the background. The affected slides were rebuilt with a contrast safe zone, and that adjustment carried into every slide design that followed. That kind of project-specific feedback is how a design relationship grows tighter over time.

The Easter set is a good example of how reusing an established design saves a round of revisions. When a new request came in mid-season, the existing Easter graphic was updated with new verbiage rather than starting fresh. The Easter palette was already locked in for the season. Reusing the design kept the season's collateral visually consistent and moved the project to approval in one pass.
