About the project

Sanctus is a growing multi-site church community operating across five campuses, with a strong focus on community impact, accessibility, and long-term organizational growth. ThistleLeaf Creative was initially engaged to develop a new digital platform on WordPress, creating a more unified and accessible online presence for the organization and its expanding audience. As the needs of the organization evolved, the platform was strategically transitioned to Webflow to provide greater flexibility, scalability, and long-term content management capabilities.

Beyond the website, the partnership has expanded to include wider strategic support across technology, communications, and revenue development for the non-profit organization. We are  actively supporting the exploration of new revenue streams, the improvment of existing operational processes, and the integration of future-focused technology tools to strengthen internal systems and community engagement across all campuses.

As part of the recent 100K Seeds campaign, we are currently supporting the development of an AI-powered engagement experience designed to provide dynamic interaction, campaign support, and accessible information throughout the multi-year initiative. Alongside digital strategy work, we have also contributed to the writing and successful securing of several grants aimed at expanding services for vulnerable adults, elderly individuals, and members of the community living with disabilities. Our role continues to evolve as a long-term strategic advisor, supporting Sanctus in scaling its impact, strengthening community connection, and building sustainable systems for future growth.
