The problem
The people three miles away don't know you exist.
It isn't a message problem. It's a reach problem. Sunday keeps coming, your team keeps posting, and the same familiar faces keep liking it. A church shouldn't be invisible to the neighborhood it was planted to serve — and you shouldn't have to become a marketer to fix that.
01
Your invitation never leaves your own audience.
Organic posts reach the people who already found you. The families you were praying for never see a thing.
02
Interest disappears between the click and Sunday.
Someone considers visiting on a Tuesday. Without follow-up, that quiet intention is gone by the weekend.
03
Lead lists fill up with people who never come.
Names, emails and phone numbers are easy to collect. Without filtering for intent, your team spends the week chasing people who were never going to show up.
How the system works
From scrolling past you to sitting in your service.
A done-for-you visitor acquisition system with intent filtering built in. You keep doing Sunday. We handle everything between the ad and the arrival — and screen out the people who were never coming.
01Step
We put your church in front of your neighbors
Facebook and Instagram ads, targeted to the families living within driving distance of your building — not the people who already sit in your pews.
02Step
We filter out the curious from the committed
Anyone can hand over a name and email. Our qualifying questions, distance checks, and intent confirmation screen out the tire-kickers, so your team gets real people who intend to show up — not a list of spam.
03Step
They tell us the Sunday they plan to attend
Our proven “Check Out Our Church” campaign asks for a commitment, not just a click: pick the service you’re coming to.
04Step
Automated follow-up carries them to the door
Every planned visitor gets a warm, automatic sequence between the click and Sunday, then their name lands in Planning Center so your team knows exactly who to welcome.
Visitor quality, measured
Every prospective visitor gets graded before you ever pick up the phone.
You shouldn't have to guess whether the names in your inbox are real. Every month we score them on the only two things that decide whether a seat gets filled: do they live near your church, and are they actually planning to come.

AI Visitor Concierge
A 24/7 digital front door for your church.
From curious to comfortable to coming this Sunday. Your digital front door should be just as welcoming as your physical one.
The questions people are quietly wondering
- What time are services?
- Where do I park?
- What should I wear?
- Where do my kids go?
- Is there a nursery?
- How long is the service?
- What is worship like?
- What denomination are you?
- Is the building accessible?
- What should I expect when I arrive?

Visitor
Do I need to dress up?
Visitor Concierge
Not at all. Most people at Grace Church dress casually — jeans are completely normal. Our service starts at 10:30, and if it's your first time, arriving about 10 minutes early gives you plenty of time to park and get settled.
Visitor
I have two kids. Where do they go?
Visitor Concierge
We have kids environments for both of them. Use the main entrance when you arrive and our team will walk you through first-time kids check-in. I'd suggest arriving around 10:15 so you don't feel rushed.
Human handoff
When a real person needs to step in
Visitor
I'm honestly a little nervous. I haven't been to church in years.
Church team notified
Mike · Grace Church staff
Hey Sarah, this is Mike from Grace Church. I saw your message and just wanted to personally say we'd love to have you. If you come Sunday, I'll make sure someone is there to help you when you arrive.

Answers questions 24/7
The moment someone is curious — Tuesday at 11pm included — there's a warm answer waiting.
Trained on your church
Service times, parking, kids check-in, dress code, denomination — your details, not generic ones.
Removes first-visit anxiety
People rarely skip church because of theology. They skip it because they don't know what to expect.
Moves people toward Sunday
Every conversation gently points to one thing: choosing a service and planning the visit.
Supports pre-visit follow-up
Reminders and helpful details keep the plan alive between the click and the parking lot.
Alerts your team when it matters
Sensitive or personal conversations get routed to a real person on your staff.
A smoother path to the door
From online interest to an in-person visit, without your team living in the inbox.
The point isn't the technology. It's the family that finally felt comfortable enough to walk through your doors.

FAQ
The questions pastors ask us first.
It’s a real person in your area who saw your ad, passed our qualifying filters, and told us which Sunday they intend to visit. It is not a raw lead form fill. We pass their name and contact info straight to your Planning Center so your team can welcome them.
Every week you wait, someone nearby visits a different church.
Up to 30 minutes — often shorter. You'll leave with a clear picture of how many first-time guests your community could send you, even if we never work together.
