The Challenge

Building a digital front door where none existed

Elevated Parish Missions is a Catholic nonprofit that leads parish missions, worship experiences, and discipleship formation for parishes across the country. Before partnering with MCG, the organization had no website at all — no way for parishes and priests to learn about their program online, request or schedule a mission, give financially, or find resources between events. Everything ran through word of mouth and direct outreach.

What We Did

A first website built from the ground up, plus ongoing strategic support

  • Purchased the domain and built Elevated Parish Missions' first website from the ground up

  • Consulted on their technology stack and internal office workflow

  • Built out online functionality for mission scheduling and inquiries, donations, and event coordination

  • Managed their social media accounts in the early stages, then transitioned full control once they brought on an internal social media hire

  • Implemented SEO fundamentals that now put their own name at the top of search results

The Results
+185%Growth in site sessions since their first tracked year online (Google Analytics)
+208%Growth in active users over the same period (Google Analytics)

Comparing Google Analytics data from Elevated Parish Missions' first full tracked year online (May 2024 – April 2025) to the most recent full year (August 2025 – July 2026): site sessions grew from 3,174 to 9,061 (+185%), and active users grew from 2,244 to 6,917 (+208%). Per Google Search Console, Elevated Parish Missions also holds the #1-2 average position for its own branded search term "elevated parish missions" (106 clicks, 135 impressions, 78% click-through rate over the last 90 days).
