Vim, Vigor and Vitality – on Sundays and Online

January marked Edge’s launch of www.cityofrefuge.org, the new online home of City of Refuge Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Located in Houston’s historic Third Ward, City of Refuge (COR) is a truly multicultural congregation, where all are welcome to worship with “Vim, Vigor and Vitality.”

Based on the ExpressionEngine Content Management System, the new City of Refuge website allows for extreme flexibility in management of text, imagery, event listings, audio sermons, news bulletins and more. Thanks to the simplicity and stability of the ExpressionEngine system, the vast majority of the site’s content is updated in real time by the COR staff.

Site design was overseen by Edge’s Don Goodell, while copy was written by Steve Barnhill. Edge’s Frank Moore, along with COR’s Brandon Fremion largely populated the site for initial launch and continue to oversee ongoing updates. The site’s “back-end” ExpressionEngine framework was programmed by longtime Edge collaborator and web wizard, Michel Godts.
