Fill Sunday with new guests. Know every family who came.
We film your church's story and turn it into invitations your neighbors see on Facebook and Instagram. Every guest gets a plan-your-visit page and a follow-up text, and you get a report with every name on it.
Example report. Your numbers depend on your town and your budget, and on your welcome team marking arrivals.
Sound familiar?
The message is good. Your zip code hasn't heard it.
campaign
"We tried Facebook ads and nobody came."
An invitation alone rarely gets a family in the door. The page they land on and the text they get afterward do the real work.
schedule
"Nobody on staff has time."
The harvest is plentiful and your comms person already wears five hats. We build it and run it, and you approve what goes out.
help
"We can't tell if any of it works."
Likes don't show up on Sunday. We count the families who planned a visit and the ones who walked in.
location_on
"Guests visit once and we never see them again."
The back door is quieter than the front. Our follow-up gives a first-time guest a reason to come back next week.
How it works
From your story to their seat
videocam
Step 1
We film your church's story
We spend a day at your church filming your pastor's invitation and the stories of your people. Then we show those invitations to families who live a few minutes from your building.
event_available
Step 2
Guests plan their visit
They pick a service time on your page. We text them where to park and what happens with their kids.
waving_hand
Step 3
Your welcome team marks who came
A quick check-in at the welcome desk closes the loop. Each month you see the new families and your campaign budget per guest.

We filmed these for City Reach Church in Cedar Park. Your filming day makes films like them, with your pastor and your people.

The monthly guest report
Every number is a name
Most agencies report likes and clicks. We report people. Every partnership includes this, so your elders and your finance team see what the campaign did.

One-off campaigns · Christmas books by November 15
Christmas Eve is the biggest invitation of the year
Not ready for a monthly plan? We build one-off campaigns for Christmas and Easter: your page, the campaign, the follow-up texts and a guest report after the holiday. Each one is priced for your church, so message Chris for a quote.
I'm Chris List. Big Splash is a video and marketing studio in Georgetown. I filmed the City Reach Church pieces on this page, and each week I cut sermon clips and design graphics for a church in Austin. This offer exists because pastors kept asking the same question: how do we reach the families moving in around us?
I film at your church and edit your videos myself. AI tools help me with transcripts and rough cuts, and nothing reaches you until I've watched it. Anything that speaks to what your church believes goes to you first.
Two quick steps. Our team gets to work, and your reach number and 3 clips land within 72 hours, with a sample guest report. We'll email you when they're ready.

FAQ
Questions pastors ask
How do you know who showed up?add
Everyone who plans a visit lands on your page and gets a text and an email from us. On Sunday your welcome team marks who arrived with a simple check-in link. That's how the report shows real guests and your campaign budget per guest.
Isn't marketing a church a little strange?add
We think of it as an invitation. Most people come because someone invited them, and that hasn't changed. Our job is to put your pastor's own invitation in front of neighbors and make the first visit easy. Your members' invitations still matter most, and the videos give them something worth sharing.
Do you promise a number of guests?add
No. Your count depends on your town and your campaign budget, and on your welcome team marking each arrival. The guest report shows the real number each month, so your leadership can judge the campaign for themselves.
Do we have to commit to a term?add
Yes, 6 months or 12. A campaign needs a few months to bring families through your doors, and a term lets us plan your year with you. Your term starts the day your campaign launches. After it ends, you continue month to month at the same rate and can cancel with 30 days notice.
Do we own the videos?add
Yes. Everything we build for your church stays yours: the videos, your plan-your-visit page, the follow-up messages and your guest list. Post the videos anywhere you like.
What is the campaign budget?add
It's what Meta charges to show your invitation to families near your church. The church pays it from its own Meta account, straight to Meta. It's separate from our fee and we never mark it up. Budgets start at $500 a month.
Who films and edits? Do you use AI?add
Chris films at your church and edits your videos himself. AI tools help with transcripts and rough cuts, and nothing reaches you until he has watched it. Nothing that speaks to what your church believes goes out without your approval.
We're not in Texas. Can we still work together?add
Yes. Travel inside Texas is included. Outside Texas, your church covers travel for filming days, at cost plus a $350 travel day. Campaign management works from anywhere.
