“Here I Am, Lord” isn’t the only big news out of the Damascus Project. They’ve also rolled out a new website and logo, both designed by Corin Knowles, principal at JollyGood Studio in Duluth, who also redesigned the Wisconsin Conference website.
The design evokes the path of the Damascus Road, where the Apostle Paul’s transformational encounter with the Risen Christ gave him new vision and reoriented him as a minister and leader.
Improved navigation makes it easy for users to learn about the Damascus Project, find courses designed especially for them, and move through the course registration process. The website address has been updated, too – it’s now thedamascusproject.org.
Meanwhile, registration is now open for Damascus Project winter and spring courses. Head over to the new website today to see what’s in store:
