Diocese of Newark
A Living Identity for a Vital Community
The Episcopal Diocese of Newark is not just a collection of churches. It’s a living, breathing network of faith communities seeking justice, mercy, and renewal in northern New Jersey. At its best, the Diocese invites people into spiritual transformation and communal action. Stoneroller was honored to help shape that invitation.
Reimagining the Diocese's IdentityIn 2024, we partnered with diocesan leadership to rebrand the Diocese from the ground up—an effort that wasn’t about aesthetics alone but about clarity, unity, and purpose. We developed a new diocesan seal rooted in theological tradition, a full logo family to serve the needs of parishes and programs, and a style guide to keep everything consistent and compelling across platforms.
“Happy to recommend Stoneroller! They've completed numerous projects for us—including branding, website design, letterhead, client presentations—all of which stand out for their clean, compelling aesthetics and strategic, results-oriented approach. In a visual culture where design makes a real impact, Stoneroller consistently delivers work that is both beautiful and effective.”
— Cynthia McChesney, Missioner for Stewardship and Legacy Giving, The Episcopal Diocese of NewarkBringing Conventions to LifeOver the years, we’ve branded multiple diocesan conventions, creating visual identities, digital promotions, signage, printed programs, and ephemera that speak to the year’s theme while serving the needs of attendees across generations.
Convention Highlight: 2020 — Behold God’s Gifts, Become God’s Steward!
This gathering included a full suite of print and digital collateral, plus something a little different: a custom-designed stewardship game that churches continue to use in their own settings—proof that design with a sense of play can have lasting impact.
Supporting Stewardship Across CongregationsThrough ongoing collaboration with the Missioner for Stewardship and Legacy Giving, we’ve developed communications that help congregations strengthen their ministries. From training materials to campaign graphics, we support the Diocese’s effort to equip leaders with tools that are both accessible and aligned with Episcopal theology.
We also design downloadable resources and email templates that make stewardship communication feel less like a chore and more like a chance to deepen discipleship.

- Fully customized email templates
