Case Study: ESA Valley Hub — Fresno County Christian Event Discovery
ESA / Love INC of Fresno County helps churches help people across Fresno County. Their ministry home is esali.org. Bizfission built ESA Valley Hub so neighbors can find volunteer opportunities, Bible studies, prayer gatherings, and special events in one place — with staff control over what is posted.

What problem did ESA Valley Hub solve?
Christian events in Fresno County lived on church sites, Facebook, Eventbrite, and the esali.org calendar. Volunteers and families had no single branded place to search and filter what is happening this week. Staff also needed governance: review, categorize, approve, or reject listings before the public sees them.
- Mobile discovery of Fresno County Christian events in under a minute
- Staff Approval Desk — not an open submission flood
- Partner catalog import with pending / approved / rejected status
- Companion to esali.org, not a replacement for WordPress
- California-only quality rules and auto-archive of past events
What did Bizfission ship?
- Branded public discovery UI aligned with ESA / Love INC
- Search across titles, hosts, places, and descriptions
- Filters: Volunteer, Bible studies, Prayer, Men, Women, Singles, Seniors, Children
- Event cards and a detail panel with register/source links
- Approval Desk for events and partner organizations
- Footer CTAs back to Donate and Get Involved on esali.org
Why a companion hub instead of only WordPress?
esali.org stays the official ministry website. Valley Hub is optimized for browse and filter across a multi-church network, with staff-gated posting and a lightweight Netlify deploy.
