The RiverLife website is live!

Posted by Nick on 12 October 2011

I’m well chuffed to report that the new website for RiverLife Community Church in Bli Bli has gone live!

As I mentioned in a previous post, this has been very much a text book project with the ‘clients’ (Rob Rodgers the Senior Pastor and his wife Shelley) driving the design, being clear about their purpose and providing the content and visual themes clearly and on-time. We also worked together on new logo designs for the church to reflect the merger of the two churches in Bli Bli and North Shore and after going through the discovery process and us trying out some ideas, they developed the final logo (which I think is GR8!!) with the help of Frank & Dixon, a Christian communications outfit based in Sippy Downs (great place name!) on the Sunshine Coast of Australia. read on →

St Martin’s Church, Sharjah

Posted by Nick on 23 September 2011

St Martin’s is one of the longest established Anglican churches in the UAE – the first St Martin’s was built in 1926 as part of the British military garrison. Today St Martin’s is one of five churches that make up the Chaplaincy of Dubai and Sharjah with the Northern Emirates,  and it is located in an ecumenical church compound on land donated by the Ruler of Sharjah. St Martin’s has a strong congregation and provides worship facilities for over 80 other congregations from different denominations, worshiping in many different languages.

St Martin’s has never had a website before but all of the churches in the Chaplaincy have been encouraged to develop at least a basic website with some information about themselves, to help newcomers find the churches, and to celebrate what is going on in the various emirates of the UAE.

So with the help of the Chaplain, Revd Dr Ernest Victor, and his team we have put up this very simple site (using the Boldy theme).  Later in the year we will be doing training with the church staff and be encouraging them to develop more content.

Visit the St Martin’s website.

St Luke’s Church, Ras Al Khaimah

St Luke's Church | Ras Al Khaimah | UAE

St Luke’s church in Ras Al Khaimah is a small Anglican church.  In the past two years funded by the Chaplaincy of Dubai and Sharjah with the Northern Emirates, a new church has been built for St Lukes on land donated by the ruler of Ras Al Khaimah.  This is just one amazing example of where God is influencing the rulers in the Middle East to support His church.  Sometimes, especially when it has happened regularly, it seems almost ‘expected’ or unremarkable – however, such gifts, such vision by the rulers, and such generosity are truly miracles that only God could have achieved. read on →

RiverLife Community Church

Posted by Nick on

RiverLife Community Churchis the result of the merger in the summer of 2011 of North Shore Baptist Church and Bli Bli Community Baptist Church.  The initial connection between Small Beginnings and Pastor Rob Rodgers was made by my great mate Bill Joukhadar when they had been discussing small groups for Rob’s church.  Subsequently Rob contacted me to help them develop a new logo for the new merged church, RiverLife Community Church, and we are still working through that design progress – we are close but not there yet! read on →

Update on Chaplaincy of Dubai and Sharjah website

Posted by Nick on 27 August 2011

New Senior Chaplain has arrived and has a clear vision for the ‘public face’ of the Chaplaincy on the internet – which is great.  So, hopefully that will kick off a couple of new websites for churches here in the UAE.

He also wanted to have a very strong presence for the Chaplaincy and so, building on the development site that I worked on with Steve Wright (Chaplain of Christ Church Jebel Ali) we have revamped the chaplaincy website using the Rockwell Theme (which by the way is just great – really great!) making it very visual but also very clean.  This involved reworking the graphics but not really a very big job.

And now we wait for the churches in the Chaplaincy to do theire part and provide the text content and some fresh images!!!

Bundaberg West Baptist Church

Posted by Nick on 10 June 2011

My best mate Bill Joukhadar introduced me to his long time friend, Bob Brown, after he visited him and his church family to talk about implementing a small groups ministry.  Bob pastors a small church in Bundaberg in Queensland and had never really thought about having a website because his church was small and he was concerned about the admin/upkeep and of course costs are always an issue. But we started talking… read on →
