Editorial
Editor’s take
ChurchCandy Marketing positions itself exclusively in the church growth vertical, using Facebook and Instagram ads paired with a "Plan Your Visit" lead-capture funnel to drive consistent first-time visitor traffic for congregations. Founder Brady brings proven vertical-specialist experience, having previously scaled ChiroCandy, a dedicated chiropractic marketing agency, applying the same niche-deep playbook to church client acquisition. With 321k+ visitors connected for church clients, the agency is a natural fit for growth-minded congregations seeking a partner who speaks their language and understands their mission.
What they do
Services
Plan Your Visit Ads
ChurchCandy's flagship campaign type: Facebook and Instagram ads that route prospective attendees to a Plan Your Visit form, followed by a thank-you and reminder sequence designed to convert form-fills into actual Sunday attendance. Built around the single KPI of first-time guests, not engagement metrics.
Coffee With A Pastor Campaigns
A softer-entry funnel aimed at people curious about faith but not ready to walk into a service. Ads invite locals to book a one-on-one coffee with a pastor through a managed calendar, giving churches a pipeline of relational conversations rather than cold Sunday invites.
Event Campaign Ads
Seasonal and one-off ad pushes for Christmas, Easter, church anniversaries, fall festivals, and similar big-Sunday or community events. Campaigns are structured around date-certain attendance goals rather than always-on lead flow.
Church Plant Launch Campaigns
A dedicated offering for ARC, CMN, and similar church plants, plus multisite campus launches. Combines launch-team recruitment ads, Coffee With the Pastor outreach, and Grand Opening awareness ads timed to fill the first service.
Follow-Up Workflow Setup
Beyond media buying, ChurchCandy helps churches implement the thank-you, reminder, and show-up sequence that turns a Plan Your Visit form-fill into a family in the building on Sunday. This operational piece is treated as core to the offer, not an add-on.
