Template: Rocket Theme Elemental with some extensive modifications. We changed the default font type and size, added new font classes, and totally changed the color scheme to match an outside artist's concept for the banner.

Banner Art: Aaron booked an outside company to do the banner. However, Sarah Long, our in-house graphic artist, did extensive design work on creating buttons as shown. In addition, we used a great deal of photo art purchased from iStock Photo.

Overview: Christ Campaign is Aaron Ernst's ministry. He specializes in running revivals, providing Christian education classes, ministering to the unchurched, and providing support for local churches. Aaron did not have a technical staff, and needed a Website that he and his fellow ministers can easily write articles for and keep updated.
