Highland United Methodist Church

What Highland United Methodist Church does

Per the firmographic block, the entity is a 17-person organization located in Highland, Michigan, with web presence at https://myhumc.360unite.com/ — a subdomain hosted on the Church360° Unite platform, indicating this is a customer congregation rather than the SaaS vendor itself. The remaining substantive data describes Church360° Unite, a cloud-based church website builder developed by Concordia Technology Solutions (CTS), a technology arm associated with Concordia Publishing House. Church360° Unite enables religious congregations to launch mobile-friendly websites using twelve prebuilt themes, a WYSIWYG page editor, and an optional HTML/CSS editor, with module-style layout options (columns, sidebars, banners) and per-content privacy controls.

The platform extends beyond site building with digital multi-calendar capabilities (one calendar per ministry group, RSVP and reminder notifications), a secure members-only online directory (member-maintained, with individual privacy controls), and group pages housing discussion boards, Bible study notes, photos, and group-leader-managed rosters. It is the centerpiece of the broader Church360° Suite, which bundles Church360° Members (membership management), Church360° Ledger (financial/accounting), Shepherd's Staff (additional church management), and eGiving (online donations), with explicit data synchronization between Unite and the membership modules.

CTS distributes through direct phone sales and a self-serve 30-day free trial, with no channel partners, resellers, or marketplace listings identified. In-house onboarding, training, and weekday support (Mon–Fri 7:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m. CDT) are positioned as a differentiator. The target buyer is small-to-mid-sized US congregations seeking a low-technical-barrier digital presence and member-engagement tool. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• The United Methodist Church: The parent denomination and connectional body that Highland UMC belongs to. While not a direct competitor, The United Methodist Church operates at vastly larger scale and provides the governance, doctrinal framework, and shared resources that shape every local UMC congregation.
• Catholic Charities USA: A faith-based nonprofit network delivering community services through local agencies, comparable to a local church model of faith-rooted service delivery with employed staff. Operates at significantly larger scale across Catholic parishes nationally.
• Compassion International: A large faith-based nonprofit that engages donors through sponsorship and digital tools. Comparable to Highland UMC as a faith-rooted organization reliant on donations and member engagement, though operating globally rather than as a local congregation.
• World Vision: A large Christian humanitarian organization that depends on donor support and operates with an employed staff. Comparable as a faith-based entity reliant on community contributions, though operating internationally rather than as a local congregation.
• The Salvation Army: A large faith-based nonprofit organization that operates through local congregations/chapters with employed staff, similar to a local church model. Comparable in combining worship, community service, and member engagement, though operating at significantly larger scale.
• Habitat for Humanity International: A large faith-based nonprofit that organizes volunteer-driven community work through local affiliates. Comparable in operating as a faith-rooted organization with a local chapter structure and reliance on donations, though the primary mission (housing) differs from worship.

Emerging players

• Christianity Today: A faith-based media and digital engagement organization that demonstrates how Christian organizations use digital platforms and content to engage members and reach wider audiences. Comparable in digital ministry approach, though operating as a media company rather than a local congregation.
• InterVarsity Christian Fellowship: A faith-based organization that operates local chapters with small staff, organizes small-group Bible studies, and uses digital tools for community engagement. Comparable to Highland UMC in its emphasis on group-based ministry and member engagement, though focused on the campus demographic.
