The Why
Our mission is simple: we want to help churches focus on what they do best—ministering to their congregations—while we take care of their digital presence.
Our Story: A Journey of Growth and Service
Our journey started from a place of humility and transformation. After facing some tough challenges in my life, I found a passion for marketing and media creation. This led me to launch my first venture in 2016, Upstate Digital Marketing. What started as a small digital marketing agency soon evolved as I dedicated myself to learning every aspect of the craft, from content creation to media buying.
But the real turning point came in 2020, when I made the decision to pivot the agency’s focus to something more meaningful—helping churches. This was a time when the world was uncertain, and churches were struggling to navigate the complexities of the digital space. We rebranded as Creative Church Marketing and set out on a mission: to help churches dominate their online presence.
My wife Adrian and I, newly married and navigating the uncertainty of the pandemic, took on this challenge together. In those early days, it wasn’t easy. We were often working late nights and early mornings, figuring things out as we went. But the vision was always clear: to serve churches in a way that truly made a difference in their ability to reach and impact their communities.
What started with just one local church soon grew into a movement. By the end of that year, we found ourselves serving churches across the United States. Today, Creative Church Marketing supports over 150 churches, helping them break through the noise of the digital world and reach new audiences with the Gospel.
At its heart, our agency is about more than just marketing. We view ourselves as partners in ministry. We don’t just offer services—we become an extension of your team, handling everything from social media to video content, and even website management. Our approach is simple: you focus on ministry, and we’ll take care of the rest.
As the world continues to evolve, we remain committed to helping churches grow and thrive online. We’re proud of the community we’ve built, and we’re excited to continue serving churches with excellence, faith, and integrity
The Pain Pastors Are Having To Face
“Your Calling is to Shepherd, Not to Spend Hours on Facebook.”
Churches today face a growing challenge: reaching people in a digital world.
While the Gospel is unchanging, the way people engage with churches has changed drastically.
What Pastors Are Facing Today:
🔹 Declining Attendance – People aren’t just showing up like they used to.
🔹 A Noisy Digital World – How does a church cut through the distractions?
🔹 Outdated Marketing Strategies – Print flyers and word-of-mouth alone aren’t enough.
🔹 Too Much on Your Plate – You’re already leading, teaching, counseling, and organizing—now you’re supposed to be a marketing expert too?
We hear this all the time from pastors:
“I feel called to preach, not to post on social media all the time.”
“We want to reach more people, but we don’t know where to start.”
“We’ve tried boosting posts, but it doesn’t seem to work.”
This is exactly why Creative Church Marketing exists.
Why Most Church Marketing Fails
Many churches attempt digital marketing but get frustrated when they don’t see results.
Here’s why it doesn’t work for most churches:
🚨 Random Posting Without Strategy – Posting a sermon graphic isn’t enough.
🚨 Ignoring Video Content – The #1 way people engage today is video, yet many churches don’t fully leverage it.
🚨 No Clear Path for Visitors – Even if people see your church online, they don’t know how to take the next step.
🚨 DIY Marketing Takes Too Much Time – Learning Facebook Ads, content creation, video editing—it’s too much for pastors.
At Creative Church Marketing, we do things differently because we understand churches.
