Pastor Mike Signorelli of V1 Church struggled to get people into their church. Despite having a combined online following of 2 million, there were huge gaps in how the church connected with its audience, especially in New York City.
Mike noticed a major issue—awareness. Many people didn’t realize that V1 Church had physical campuses, let alone that they were based in New York City. This was frustrating for a church with multiple locations across the nation.
Mike hired ChurchCandy after seeing Brady Sticker’s content and how he helped churches get noticed and make personal connections. Brady retargeted ads to people who had already engaged with their content, and it worked. Soon, Mike saw an increase in Sunday visitors.
Some campus pastors initially struggled with the new systems. Mike Signorelli saw these challenges as more than technical issues; they were about the church’s responsibility to each person who reached out. “These are precious, precious human beings,” he reminded his team. The frustration of missed follow-ups weighed heavily on him.
With Brady Sticker‘s help, they implemented new systems to ensure every potential visitor received the personal attention they deserved. Now, when someone interacts with V1 Church online, they receive a personal video message from a campus pastor inviting them by name to experience the community firsthand.
This is why Facebook ads for churches are great for pastors.
