Landmark Baptist Church in Grand Junction Colorado, specifically the Youth Pastor Ryan W Barlament, refused to pay for a website that was delivered beautifully designed and 100% completed. The Baptist Church Theft was in Colorado at Landmark Baptist Church by the son of Pastor Barlament who is also an assistant pastor and youth pastor Ryan W Barlament. Ryan Barlament informed me that they will not be paying for the church website my web designer finished and sent to him completed on January 5th after many emails and phone calls were ignored the few days prior. The Church Website in question is lbcgj.com/ which is home to the Landmark Baptist Church, Colorado Landmark Baptist Church, 
Reformers Unanimous, Music Ministry, Media Ministry, Solid Rock Decipleship Program all of which can be viewed on this page ( lbcgj.com/ministries-2/ ) a tallented web designer completed for the Landmark Baptist Church. LBCGJ is located at 1600 Ute Avenue, Grand Junction, CO 81501.

This was not an ordinary web design project to say the least. The design of lbcgj.com began 8 months earlier in the year. Upon agreement to the terms of the LBC website I was assured everything that would needed to complete a church website such as content, images, logos, programs, staff pictures, christian school updates & various little items would be provided in a reasonable period of time. Pastor Ryan Barlament took nearly 5 months to provide a Logo let alone anything else of use. Naturally this is not a big deal. I understand the office of a pastor is filled with things that might take priority. 

On December 30th Ryan Barlament sent an email with a list of things he wanted completed on the website of Landmark Baptist Church lbcgj.com that read as follows: 

Per our phone conversation, here are some things to be changed. After these are done, I will get the password and login for you to upload everything to fast domain.

  1. Paypal needs to be added to the members page.
  2. Vimeo needs to be on the bottom of the page, and I can’t remember if youtube is down there, but it needs to be.
  3. We need the contact page. I believe it was contact page 7 that we were looking at
  4. Add the google analytics.

Once this is uploaded then we need to:

  1. Fix the links on the discover page
  2. Fix the tabs on the CTX page
  3. The CTX page goes to anonlink.com

I will be sending you the Bible Reading Schedule that has to go on the members page. I will get this to you today.

Appreciate all the hard work that you are doing. Let me know when you can have this done. For us, the earlier the better. I know you have a lot to do today as well.

 Thanks,

All of these updates were completed promptely along with many other design edits and revisions that the designer made at his discretion. By the 5th of January Pastor Ryan W Barlament received many calls, emails and txt messages that he decided to ignore from the designer of the Landmark Baptist Church at Grand Junction Colorado's Website. Mr Barlament finally Decided to begin communication on the 7th of January. The following emails begin on the 6th:

Hey Ryan,

 
I need you to ok the site like you had mentioned before we go live. I also need you to confirm payment today and cost of setting up site+google analytics. 
 
 
Please confirm with Xxxxxxx as he is waiting for your response. 
 
Thank You,
 
1/7
Ryan,
 

The site is completed. Is there anything that needs been finished?  You need to okay it before going live and Xxxxx told me you weren't going to have time to look at it till yesterday.

Thank you,

We need to talk. This was supposed to be completed on December 31st. You haven’t done any work on it since then and you want to be paid immediately? That doesn’t make sense. Please call me today. I will be available at 11 my time.

Of course, expecting an excited audience for the completion of the lbcgj website, we were in shock when Pastor Barlament and his Son/Youth Pastor Ryan Barlament informed us that we were not going to be compensated for the work that was completed. The time and work that was put in for the Landmark Baptist Church Website to this day is not settled. The funds are 100% owed to the designer and I have no vested interest in this except for his work, that is still being appreciated, be recognized. The Grand Junction Baptist Church called Landmark should please reach out and settle their debt to the designer of their website. They know who worked on the site and they should repent, ask for forgiveness for their selfish actions and thank the individule that they robbed by paying him what is owed.
