For many churches, the idea of using Facebook ads to grow their congregation feels like stepping into uncharted territory. But the truth is, churches across the country are already seeing incredible results by using this simple, powerful tool to reach new people.
Here are just a few examples of churches that embraced Facebook ads and saw their congregations grow as a result.
A church with fewer than 50 members wanted to invite more young families to its services. Using Facebook ads, they targeted families within a 10-mile radius of their building. The ads highlighted the church’s vibrant kids’ program and welcoming community.
The Result:
Within just six weeks, the church saw a 40% increase in Sunday attendance. Many of the new visitors were young families who stayed and became active members.
A mid-sized church had been struggling with declining attendance, especially among younger generations. They used Facebook ads to promote their new worship series aimed at Millennials and Gen Z. The campaign featured inviting videos from their pastor and testimonials from young members.
The Result:
The campaign led to a steady stream of first-time visitors, many of whom expressed excitement about the church’s contemporary worship style.
A larger church in an urban area wanted to connect with people who didn’t already have a church home. Their ads focused on themes like hope, belonging, and community. They ran a “Plan Your Visit” campaign where interested people could schedule their first visit online.
The Result:
The church saw more than 300 new visitors over a three-month period, many of whom said they’d never considered attending church until they saw the ad.
