Christ Church in Short Hills

Designing for legacy, belonging, and the work of peace


2023 Polly Bond Awards: Honorable Mentions, Best Campaign and Booklet







Christ Church in Short Hills posits itself as a peace-building community—and lives into that mission. Their ministries reach across generations, backgrounds, and seasons of life, grounded in a theology of welcome and shared responsibility.

Stoneroller has been honored to support this work through years of close collaboration—creating tools, designs, and systems that help the church communicate clearly and gather with intention.






Supporting a Church That Moves with Grace and Purpose

From Sunday bulletins to major campaigns, Christ Church needed design that could stretch across the wide arc of church life. We’ve worked together on event materials, seasonal messaging, campus signage, and a growing library of reusable assets the staff can manage with ease.

Among these is an illustrated campus map that has become a staple of church communications—helping new visitors find their way to worship, formation, and welcome.

Marking a Milestone with Meaning and Joy

For the church’s 140th Anniversary Gala, we created a fully integrated visual identity that honored the parish’s history while celebrating its future. From save-the-dates to signage, every piece was designed to feel rooted and radiant.

Key elements included:
  • A cohesive brand and color palette
  • Event invitations and print collateral
  • Signage and donor recognition displays
  • An illustrated anniversary handbook reflecting the church’s story and mission

2024 Polly Bond Award of Excellence Winner: Layout (poster, one-page spread, etc.) 


The result was more than a gala—it was a shared celebration that raised over $140,000 for programming, ministries, and facilities.




“Stoneroller Cooperative did an outstanding job crafting the branding and materials for Christ Church in Short Hills' 140th Anniversary. Their designs beautifully captured our history and mission, creating a cohesive visual identity across invitations, programs, signage, and our commemorative guide. Their work also enhanced our Anniversary Gala, ensuring a memorable celebration. Libby’s creativity, attention to detail, and dedication made a lasting impact, and I would highly recommend!”

Building Trust Through Consistency


What began as a single project has become a lasting creative relationship. We continue to support Christ Church with design systems, seasonal communications, and strategy that respects both staff time and parish culture.

The work reflects what we value most: design as care, creativity as service, and beauty that helps a community move forward with strength.
