5 Reasons Churches Shouldn’t Manage Their Own Facebook Ads

Many pastors and church leaders are do-it-yourselfers by nature. They roll up their sleeves and get the job done, whether it’s fixing the sound system or organizing an outreach event. But when it comes to Facebook ads, a DIY approach can do more harm than good.

Here’s why managing your own ads often leads to frustration—and why partnering with experts is a better path to success.

Reason #1: Time is Precious

Running effective Facebook ad campaigns takes time—time to learn the platform, create content, manage budgets, and analyze performance. Most pastors already juggle preaching, counseling, and administrative tasks. Adding ad management to the mix can lead to burnout.

Reason #2: The Learning Curve is Steep

Facebook’s ad platform is powerful, but it’s also complex. Without a deep understanding of targeting, bidding, and creative strategy, it’s easy to make mistakes that waste your budget.

Reason #3: Results Can Be Inconsistent

DIY campaigns often lack the polish and strategy needed to achieve consistent results. Ads may perform well one week and fail the next, leaving you guessing what went wrong.

Reason #4: You’re Leaving Money on the Table

Inefficient targeting, poor ad design, and missed opportunities can lead to wasted ad spend. An expert knows how to maximize your budget and generate the best return on investment.

Reason #5: Follow-Up is Often Overlooked

A successful campaign doesn’t end with a click—it ends when a visitor walks through your doors. DIY ads rarely include the follow-up workflows and tools needed to nurture leads and convert them into attendees.
