ArcGIS Experience Builder App Connects Quaker Communities

Building a Custom ArcGIS Experience Builder App for FWCC

At Blue Raster, we believe that well-designed, data-driven solutions can bring people together and foster meaningful connections. Our ongoing collaboration with the Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC), Section of the Americas perfectly illustrates this principle. Through the creation of an ArcGIS Experience Builder app, we’ve helped FWCC more effectively map and connect Quaker communities across the region, advancing their mission to nurture fellowship, communication, and spiritual unity.

About FWCC, Section of the Americas

The Friends World Committee for Consultation, Section of the Americas is dedicated to bringing together the diverse community of Quakers (Friends) across North, Central, and South America. By fostering spiritual enrichment, collaboration, and service opportunities, FWCC strengthens bonds among individuals, meetings, and churches of all Quaker traditions. One of their core values is making these communities more visible and accessible, helping newcomers and longtime Friends alike find and engage with local meetings and worship groups.

The Challenge: Mapping Quaker Communities

FWCC needed a modern, user-friendly platform to display Quaker meetings and churches throughout the Americas. Their goals included:

Centralized Data: Unifying information on numerous Quaker meetings and churches, each with unique contact details, worship times, and affiliations.
Interactive Search & Discovery: Enabling visitors to easily explore, filter, and locate gatherings based on geography or specific criteria.
Enhanced Community Engagement: Encouraging new and existing members to connect with meetings that resonate with their preferences, traditions, or language needs.

Our Solution: An ArcGIS Experience Builder App

Blue Raster leveraged ArcGIS Experience Builder to create a, fully responsive web application that seamlessly combines powerful GIS mapping with an intuitive user interface. Key features include:

Dynamic Map Visualization We integrated FWCC’s comprehensive location data to generate a navigable, zoomable map of Quaker gatherings.
Robust Search & Filter Tools Built-in filtering capabilities allow visitors to refine searches by language offerings, worship style, or geographical region.
Responsive, Accessible Design The user interface is designed to work seamlessly on a variety of screen sizes, from desktop monitors to mobile devices.
