Ministry Women's Ministry Website Template
Hannah's Circle
Hannah's Circle meets in a 1928 bungalow, and the site should feel like that house: a front room with books on every surface, unhurried, a little old-fashioned. We kept away from the usual women's-ministry kit of script fonts and pastel florals, and took the palette from Tulsa itself: the redbud along Cherry Street and the brass on the Deco buildings downtown.

- Built for
- Women in Tulsa of every age and church background: young mothers, working women who can only come in the evening, women grieving a loss or waiting for a child, and older women willing to walk alongside someone younger.
- Navigation
- Left sidebar. A fixed column holds the name, every page and the address, so nothing is ever more than one click away on desktop.
Names, photos, times and stories in this template are sample content. Your version uses your own words, photos and branding.
Why it looks this way.
- Typography
Bona Nova was drawn from a 1926 Polish book face, so it carries the gravity of scripture without the stiffness of a wedding invitation. Its italic is used for scripture and for the line where the ministry speaks softly. Jost, a geometric sans with 1920s bones, nods to the Art Deco buildings downtown and keeps practical details crisp.
- Bona Nova headlines
- Jost body text
- Color
The magenta is the Oklahoma redbud, the state tree, which flowers along Cherry Street every spring just before the retreat. The brass accent comes from the Deco ironwork on Boston Avenue. The background is a barely-blushed paper, and the dark theme is the same house in the evening: plum-brown walls, lamp light, the redbud lifted to a softer pink.

- Page
- Layout
A left sidebar keeps every page, the address and the main action in view on a laptop, which suits women who arrive with one specific question (when is the Thursday circle? who leads The Waiting Room?) and want the answer in one click. On a phone it collapses to a simple menu.
Pages: Home, Find a circle, This fall's study, The Waiting Room, Mentoring pairs, Spring retreat
- Hero
A tall photograph of an older woman mid-conversation at a study table sits on the right, and three large numbered steps sit on the left: come on Tuesday, find a smaller circle, ask for a mentor. Women told us the hardest part is knowing where to start, so the first screen answers exactly that.
- Calls to action
Find your circle is the one action every visitor can take, whatever her season, so it lives in the sidebar. The rest name a specific room and time: Join the Tuesday study, Come to The Waiting Room, Ask for a mentor. None of them asks anyone to register for an event before she has met a person.
- Photography
Women of different ages, ethnicities and seasons, around tables, sofas and Bibles. For The Waiting Room page we deliberately avoided babies and pregnancy photographs; the women who read that page do not need to be ambushed by them.
- Accessibility
Body text is 17 pixels Jost with a generous line height, and every pairing in both themes passes WCAG AA. The Waiting Room's prayer form explains, before anything is typed, who will read it and what will happen. Crisis numbers are written in full, not hidden behind a link.
