October is the time to get ready
People become more open to coming back to church.
Christmas services are coming. Families look for things to do together. New people move into your community, while others begin asking spiritual questions again.
Many will spend hours on Facebook and Instagram during the weeks ahead. The question is whether your church will ever appear in front of them.
During this free live training, I will show you how a local church can reach people within driving distance, invite them into what is already happening, and build a simple advertising rhythm that continues throughout the year.

Be who you are
Your church does not need to look like a megachurch.
If your church is warm, relational, and 150 people on a Sunday morning, communicate that. If worship is expressive, let people see it. If your congregation is full of young families, show real families. If your church is traditional, communicate that clearly too.
You are helping people who are looking for a church like yours recognize you when they see you.
People are already looking
Someone near you would love what happens in your church every Sunday.
I belong to my local community Facebook group. Again and again, somebody posts that they have just moved to the area and are looking for a church. One person wants a strong children’s ministry. Another wants community. Someone else has decided to return after years away.
Meta advertising helps you put your church in front of people who live nearby. People are looking. Advertising can help the right ones find you.
What you’ll learn
Practical church advertising you can understand and use.
What to advertise
Christmas services, sermon series, community events, and straightforward Sunday invitations.
What to spend
A realistic approach to local reach, daily budget, and campaign duration.
Who to reach
How Meta can reach nearby people who do not already follow your church.
How to stay genuine
Create advertising that feels like your church and attracts people who fit.
How to use video
A simple 20 to 30 second portrait-video framework for real people.
What happens next
Newcomer follow-up and a repeatable rhythm through Christmas and beyond.
Real people make powerful ads
Your best ads may already be sitting in the seats on Sunday.
You do not need actors or an elaborate production team. A real person can look into a phone and speak naturally for 20 or 30 seconds. During the training, I will give you the framework, scripts, and prompts we use.
Built for pastors and church leaders
You do not need a marketing department.
You need a church worth inviting people into, a clear picture of whom you are trying to reach, and a willingness to put that invitation in front of your community.
Free live training
Make sure people looking for a church like yours can find you.
