Facebook Ads for Churches
Bring New Guests to Your Church Every Sunday with “Plan Your Visit” Ads on Facebook and Instagram
Struggling To Get New Guests on Sundays?
“Plan Your Visit” Facebook Ads can be one of the fastest ways to get new guests through your doors each Sunday. With Facebook Ads, we’ve helped churches go from feeling invisible in their community to bringing in multiple first-time guests EVERY Sunday—and you’ll start seeing results right away. So if you’re wanting to see multiple new guests next Sunday, schedule a call to learn if our “Plan Your Visit” Facebook Ads are a good fit for your church!
What Are Plan Your Visit Facebook Ads?
Plan Your Visit Ads are engaging ads that run on Facebook and Instagram. They invite people to attend your church by letting them RSVP (Plan a Visit) for a service.
A Plan Your Visit campaign consists of multiple ad creatives including graphics and videos designed to stop the scroll. The ads include a clear call-to-action with a simple form for visitors to provide their contact information.
The most successful ad is typically a selfie video of your pastor walking downtown or in front of a recognizable landmark while inviting viewers to attend church next Sunday.
Once someone plans a visit, they enter an automated follow-up sequence where your church connects with them via email, text, or phone to thank them for planning a visit and to encourage/remind them to attend on Sunday.
Our team handles the ad setup, optimization, and follow-up process, ensuring a seamless experience for both your church and potential visitors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a "Plan Your Visit" ad?
A “Plan Your Visit” ad is a targeted Facebook ad designed to invite people in your community to visit your church. It allows potential visitors to schedule their visit, making it easier for them to plan ahead and feel welcomed before they arrive.
How does the follow-up process work?
Once someone responds to the ad, do two things:
1. We provide you with their contact information so that you or your volunteer team can follow up with them personally.
2. We add them into an automated text and email sequence where they will receive messages from the “pastor” at your church inviting them to visit on Sunday and encouraging them to stop by the welcome booth to meet you in person or get a free gift.
For the best results, we recommend doing both automated and personal follow up. But we also understand that some churches don’t have the time. That’s why we have the automated sequences!
Can you run ads for special events like Christmas and Easter?
Yes! In addition to our regular “Plan Your Visit” ads, we also run ads for special events like Christmas and Easter to help you promote these key moments when more people are likely to attend.
How soon can I expect to see new visitors?
It depends on factors like your location and the size of your community, but churches often see new visitors within the first few weeks of running the ad.
How much do the ads cost?
We’ll work with you to create a budget that fits your needs. Facebook ads are highly flexible, and we can tailor the campaign based on your church’s size and goals. For best optimization and lowest cost per lead, we recommend spending $300+/month on Facebook Ads.
Do I need any experience with Facebook ads to use this service?
Nope! We handle everything — from creating the ad to targeting the right audience and managing the campaign. All we need from you is to record a couple of short selfie videos that we can include in your ad campaign.
