Case Studies

Membership Vision helps churches of all sizes tell their stories and maintain an effective and sustainable online presence. For mission stations, large and established congregations, small and intimate parishes, cathedral communities and others, Membership Vision products and services enable churches to be invitational, engaging and current -- all while removing technological hurdles.


MV Case Studies

Social Media, Newsletter, Website, Calendar: Connected

Updating your website should be as easy as posting to social media -- and now it is. Rather than putting so much of your effort into a newsletter read by those already in your church while your website remains stagnant, you can now build your newsletter by posting to your site. Instead of needing to update your website after an event, it is automatically updated multiple times per day.

Merrill Whatley, Founder and President

Merrill believes digital communication is a priority for churches, that an authentic and natural online presence can build and strengthen relationships. He has been a communications consultant to multiple Episcopal congregations since the year 2000, and what he has learned and witnessed over the years has informed his aims with Membership Vision: to create something simple and sustainable for churches that encourages connection, and for churches to be able to tell their story in such a way that others feel invited to take part in the telling -- in short, freeing clergy and staff to perform their mission. He runs operations in Ventura and enjoys both web and actual surfing.

Lisa Brown, Director of Digital Ministry

Lisa is excited about helping churches tell their story in a welcoming and inviting way. She is passionate about creatively enriching people’s spiritual lives through digital engagement, experiential learning opportunities, and collaborative art installations. Lisa's book, The Best VBS Workbook Ever! was recently released and her writing will also be featured in Faith Formation for a New Generation. Lisa participates in Education for Ministry, holds a Certification for Leadership in Lifelong Faith Formation, serves on the vestry of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Mt. Lebanon, PA, and will represent the Diocese of Pittsburgh as a Deputy to General Convention.
