We launched Digital Church Co in 2019, to a very quiet reception. It was sort of a soft launch - then, we all know what happened in 2020...every church needed to level up their online game, and QUICK.
Our boutique creative church services became in strong demand, and we started taking on great new church partners one by one as our creative team grew.
Along the way, as affordable, effective, and helpful as our virtual creative pastor service is, we realized that not every small church could afford that level of commitment - so I did two things.
- Launched a free resource library on our website. We give away social content, sermon series, and "discards"- resources we designed for other churches but they wanted something different.
- Surveyed a team of 60+ pastors that I have worked with in various capacities in my 12+ years of ministry and creative work
That survey lead to some interesting results that helped guide the next phase of Digita lChurch Co.
- 100% of pastors surveyed had churches of less than 300 people
- 50% were smaller than 150 people.
- 80% of respondents marked 5 or below (out of ten) when asked about how satistifed they were with their church's creative efforts (web, social, sermon designs)
- When asked if they would rather outsource their creative efforts to a team like Digital Church, or if they would rather equip and resource their existing volunteers , 65% of those respondents marked the latter.
- 45% of churches indicated that they had willing and able volunteers of people, but they lacked particular skills and resources to help channel their willingness to serve into actual expertise.
That leads us to today.
Since December 2023, my team of creative church experts and I have been crafting a powerful solution to help with that. I'm not sure how to best describe what we'll be offering: "course" doesn't do it justice. Think graphic design school, meets church consultant, meets Netflix, meets community of Facebok groups (without the drama)
- Hours of micro-courses specific to church comms needs (we've filmed over 5 hours so far with more on the way)
- Hacks and tricks for church volunteers
- Basics of design theory for churches
- Community platform
- Coaching calls and livestreams from the Digital Church Team
We're launching soon, and to celebrate, I'll be giving away a FREE new MacBook Air to one lucky pastor or church.
Stay tuned in the coming weeks!
