The original Gloria Dei Lutheran Church's web site (launched in March of 2001) was the result of much planning, design, long hours and dedicated work by several members of the congregation.  The original site served the congregation for almost four years.

In January 2005, Gloria Dei received a generous gift of a "Content Management Tool" for websites from David Norrgard, CEO of Urban Planet, LLC of St. Paul, MN and a new website was launched. Graphic Design for the new site was provided by Lecy Design of Minneapolis, MN. 

This powerful Content Management System eliminates the need for technical staff to support Gloria Dei's web site on a day-to-day level. Instead, staff and volunteers are able to maintain content. In fact, no knowledge of web design or HTML is required at all -- just the ability to use the intuitive Urban Planet tool.

We are most grateful for this innovative tool and the generous contribution.
