A church with no building of its own, and a website that has to do the work a building normally does.

The situation

Grace United Methodist Church worships at the Grandview YMCA in Millbrook — a rec center, not a sanctuary. There's no steeple to spot from the road and no sign to drive past. For a congregation like that, the website isn't a brochure; it's the building. If a first-time visitor can't confirm the address, the time, and that they're genuinely in the right place, they don't show up at a YMCA on a Sunday morning to find out.

What we did

We built the homepage around the two decisions a visitor actually makes: come this Sunday, or watch first. Service time and the full YMCA address sit in the first screen, right beside “Plan a Visit” and “Watch live / On Demand” — and nothing else competes with them. Beneath that, a full sermon archive lets someone hear Pastor Chris McCain before they ever walk in, an About page carries the congregation's mission and where they meet, and giving is handled online instead of depending on a plate being passed. The Wesley AI chatbot sits in the corner of every page to catch the questions the site doesn't answer, at whatever hour they get asked.

Where it stands

The site has been live, hosted, and maintained by Wesley AI for the past year. The sermon archive is current — new services posted through the first Sunday of this month — which is the part that quietly fails on most church websites. Grace is also a Wesley AI chatbot church, which makes it the clearest example of how the two halves of this company work together: we built the front door, and we staff it.
