The proven strategy to get new guests through your church’s front door. Every week.
Create opportunities for genuine, one-on-one conversations that build trust and open doors.
Get the word out for your church’s special events: Christmas, Easter, Anniversary…
Whether you’re looking to fill seats on Sunday, boost a major event, or just meet new people who’ve never stepped foot in a church—we’re here to help make that happen.
At ChurchCandy, we specialize in one thing: helping churches get new guests through the front door.
We’re not here to waste time chasing likes or posting for “engagement.” We run Facebook and Instagram ads that connect with your community and drive real results.
One of our most effective strategies is our Plan Your Visit campaign. These ads introduce your church in a personal, compelling way and invite people to plan their visit—right there on Facebook or Instagram.
Because let’s be honest—your church shouldn’t be your town’s best kept secret.
Need help getting the word out about a special event like Easter, Christmas, your church’s anniversary, or a fall festival?
We’ve got you covered.
We also run targeted campaigns for big Sundays, seasonal events, and community gatherings. Whether it’s a packed auditorium or a bounce house in the parking lot, we’ll help get people there.
Not every invite needs to be to a Sunday service. Sometimes, the most powerful ministry happens across a table—not behind a pulpit.
Our Coffee with a Pastor campaign is designed for churches that want to connect with their city on a deeper level. It’s simple, personal, and surprisingly effective. No pressure. No big pitch. Just real conversations with people who are curious about faith, searching for connection, or simply open to talk.
Set up an easy-to-manage coffee meeting calendar
Launch Facebook and Instagram ads that personally invite people to meet with a pastor
Create opportunities for genuine, one-on-one conversations that build trust and open doors
Whether someone’s wrestling with questions, carrying past church hurt, or just wondering if faith still matters—this campaign gives them a safe space to explore, and gives your church a front-row seat to what God is doing in your city.
This strategy is personal, intentional, and built around one clear goal:
Helping your church grow.
Plan Your Visit Ads are highly personalized Facebook and Instagram ads that invite people in your community to join your church this Sunday. They’re tailored to your church’s voice and vision—and designed to feel like a personal invite, not a generic promotion.
When someone clicks the ad, they’re asked to Plan a Visit by filling out a simple form right there on Facebook. We collect their:
Name
Phone number
Once that form is submitted, we launch an automated follow-up sequence inside ChurchFunnels. This includes reminders, confirmations, and helpful nudges leading up to Sunday to make sure they don’t forget their plan to attend.
We’ll need photos and videos from your church to build the ads—don’t worry, we’ll guide you on what works best. Then we’ll create and test multiple ad versions to find what resonates most with your audience.
We also include retargeting ads to make sure your church stays top of mind for anyone who watches your videos, visits your landing page, or engages with your content.
We’ve managed over $4 million in Facebook and Instagram ad spend, and we’ve helped hundreds of churches grow using this exact approach.
With an ad budget between $500–$1,000/month, our clients typically see 30–90 people planning a visit each month. These aren’t just clicks—they’re real people showing up in real seats.
This strategy works. Not because it’s flashy, but because it’s intentional, repeatable, and focused on people.
If you’re ready to reach more of your community, we’re ready to run with you.
Let’s grow your church—together.

Whether it’s Easter, Christmas, your church anniversary, a fall festival, or anything in between—we can help you fill the room.
Our Event Ad campaigns are designed to invite your community to Plan a Visit or RSVP directly through Facebook and Instagram. It’s simple, personal, and effective.
We don’t just run ads—we help you build momentum, create awareness, and connect with people who are ready to say “yes” to showing up.
Whatever the event is, we don’t want you to miss the chance to reach your community. Let’s partner together to get the word out.
Some people aren’t ready to walk into a church. But they are ready to talk.
That’s where Coffee with a Pastor comes in.
We help your church run targeted Facebook and Instagram ads that invite people in your city to grab coffee with you or someone from your pastoral team. No bait-and-switch. No pressure to visit. Just a simple offer:
Got questions about God, church, or faith? Let’s grab coffee. I’d love to hear your story.
And you’d be surprised how many people say yes.
Step 1: Launch the Ad
We create a short, personal video ad that runs on social media, inviting locals to meet for coffee. It’s simple, honest, and low-pressure.
Step 2: They Book a Time
Clicking the ad takes them to a short form. From there, they can book directly onto your calendar (or a designated pastor’s) to meet up.
Step 3: Show Up and Listen
No sermon. No sales pitch. Just a real conversation about life, faith, and whatever’s on their heart. And yes—many of them do eventually visit the church, join a team, or even come to Christ. But the goal is relationship first.
Because it’s personal.
People are more skeptical of the church than ever before—but they’re still spiritually hungry. Coffee with a Pastor is a bridge to meet that hunger with hospitality.
Whether they’ve got doubts, church hurt, big questions, or just want someone to talk to… this campaign helps you create a space for real, authentic connection.
We’ve seen churches book 50+ meetings in a single month, and many of those turn into consistent attenders, team members, and future leaders.
Church Plants looking to connect in a new city
Established Churches wanting to go deeper than the invite
Pastors who love one-on-one ministry and real stories
Outreach Teams who want to lead with care, not just promotion
This isn’t a gimmick. It’s an intentional tool to disciple people before they ever walk through your doors.
If your church is ready to connect with your community in a more personal way, we’ll help set it all up—from the ads to the forms to the calendar system. And if you’re already working with ChurchCandy, we’ll launch it for you at no additional cost.
