Newman iOS + Android Development

Challenge

Newman Ministries connects Catholic students with Catholic campus ministries at 400 campuses nationwide. They needed a central hub where the students could go to connect with their campus ministry, learn about events, adn access information, while the campus ministry leaders needed a streamlined communication tool to reach students. The communication side of their outreach, which used multiple social media platforms, needed to be consolidated into one easy-to-access location. 

Problems to Solve

• Consolidate communication for ministry leaders
• Connect students to other students in their faith 
• Make it easily accessible 

Solution

We designed an IOS and Android app, both backend and user interface, that targets college students and graduating high school students looking to connect to Catholic Ministries on a particular campus, each user can access events, updates, and network in their location. The platform is closed, which allows the ministry leaders greater control over what content is allowed. Students can also meet ministry leaders, chat with other students, RSVP to events, check the schedule for upcoming meetings. With a centralized online site, ministry leaders can organize their outreach, manage events, and cut out unnecessary repetition and confusion when communicating across multiple platforms.
