Getting names but not visitors?
A Plan Your Visit ad gets a yes. Then nobody texts them back. Nobody tells them where to park or where the kids go. Sunday comes and the seat is empty, and you paid for that name. GrowChurch runs your ads and prepares every guest by name before Sunday, from your church's number, with a welcome video from you. Once a month you get one number: how many planned, and how many walked in.
For your first 3 months. Then $297/month from month 4.
Texts, emails, and the GrowChurch system are in the price. You pay Meta directly for the ads.

No sales call. No setup fee. No contract. Cancel before your next bill.
Proof from the field
No actors. No scripts. Pastors on their own phones telling you what happened.
Pastors Jeff & Heather Capuria
Alive Church, Duncan, OK
Pastors Jason & Natasha Glasgow
Greater Glory Ministry, Philadelphia, PA
Pastor Margaret Parker
Chosen Vessels of God Ministries, Dallas, GA
These are the results these churches reported. Yours depend on your city, your budget, and how fast your team replies. We never promise growth. We remove the reasons people do not show up.
No sales call. Sign up in about 15 minutes.
If you tried ads before
Most churches that "tried Facebook ads" got names. Then nothing happened. Nobody texted them. Nobody told them where to park. Sunday came and the seat was empty.
An ad gets a yes. A system gets a person through the door. GrowChurch is the system.
What your guest actually receives
Every message below is automatic. Your church records one welcome video and the system does the rest, every guest, every week.
Every guest prepared by name. Cancel before your next bill.
Plain terms
The number we report
Clicks and impressions do not fill rooms. Every month you get one email with the only number that matters: of the people who planned a visit, how many came.

Already running ads?
Pick the one that sounds like your church. Your setup page walks you through it, step by step, with a video.
Most churches start here. During setup we show you how to open an ad account on your church's Facebook Page and add a card. It takes about 10 minutes. The account is yours from day one.
Keep it. You give GrowChurch partner access from your Facebook settings using the Business ID on your setup page. Your account, your history, and your billing stay yours. You can remove our access any time.
Leave them running until your GrowChurch ads are live, so you never go dark. Then cancel with them yourself. Signing up here does not cancel their bill. If they ran ads inside your account, remove their access after we launch. If the ads lived in their account, we start fresh in yours.
$97 a month for 3 months, then $297. No setup fee.
Why it costs this
Fifteen minutes. No call to book, no pitch to sit through. The video at the top is the pitch.
We do not start from scratch for every church. We install a system that runs in our own church every Sunday and set it to your service times, your parking, your people.
If you are paying an agency $500 a month in fees, that is $403 a month that could be reaching people in your city. For the first three months, it can.
Start online. Launch in weeks.
Tell us about your church, pick your ad budget, pay $97. Your setup page opens the moment you do.
Connect your Facebook page. Answer a few questions about parking and kids. Record two short videos with our scripts. Save and come back any time.
We register your texting line with the carriers, build your ads from your videos and photos, and set every message to your church.
The carriers review your texting line. This is the longest step and it is out of everyone's hands. You watch three short training videos while you wait.
You join a short weekly launch call with other churches going live. We turn the ads on together. Your first Show-Up report lands on the 1st of the next month.
Most churches launch in two to three weeks. Your setup page shows exactly where you are the whole time.

Built by a pastor
Jeremy and Gabrielle Gibson pastor One Way Church outside Atlanta. GrowChurch is the system they built for their own first-time guests, then made available to churches that cannot afford an agency.
When something breaks, we feel it on a Sunday before you do. When something works, you get it next.
The first 50 churches lock $297 for life and carry the Founding Church badge. In return, we ask for an honest 90-second video at day 90 and permission to share your numbers. Real proof, from real churches, is how this grows.
Questions
Your first three bills are $97. Your fourth bill is $297, and every bill after that until you cancel. Five days before the fourth bill you get a full results report so you decide with your own numbers.
Submit the cancel form at go.growchurchhq.com/cancel from the email you signed up with, before your next bill. Future billing stops. Bills already paid are not refunded.
No. Sign up online, answer the setup questions, record two videos. The only live touch is a short weekly launch call with other churches going live, and a real person answers your questions by text and email throughout.
Yes. Alive Church in Duncan, Oklahoma runs on $200 a month in ads. A small church needs first-time guests more than a big one does, and the system costs the same either way. One person who replies to guests is the only requirement.
No. We build your Plan Your Visit page. You do need a Facebook page, and your church's legal name and EIN for the texting line registration.
Because ads were never the problem. Most churches got names and then nothing happened to those names. Here, every planned visit gets a text in the first minute, a welcome from the pastor, directions, reminders, and a follow-up, automatically. The ad gets a yes. The system gets a person in a seat.
Everything scheduled is automatic. When a guest replies with a question or a prayer need, your follow-up person sees it in one place and answers. Most churches get a handful of these a week. That is the one part we will never automate, because a real person answering is the point.
Connect the same Facebook page and ad account. We build a fresh Plan Your Visit campaign alongside what you have, and you keep ownership of everything.
U.S. carriers require every organization that texts people to register. We register your church's texting line in your church's name so your messages are delivered and never flagged as spam. This takes one to three weeks and we start it on day one.
Nobody is at first. The welcome video is 30 seconds, we give you the exact words, and you record it on your phone in your lobby. Guests do not want a production. They want to see the face they will meet on Sunday.
This offer is for churches with a weekly service. If you are launching a church and want to build a launch team first, write to [email protected] and we will tell you if we are the right fit.
No. We promise a system that removes the reasons people do not show up and reports honestly on what happened. What God does with a prepared guest is His.
