The problem

Great things are happening at your church. Almost no one online can tell.

The feed goes quiet.
Posting is inconsistent — silent for weeks, then a last-minute scramble before Sunday.

Content sits unused.
Sermons, worship moments, and events get captured — then never turned into anything.

Nothing feels cohesive.
Graphics, video, and posts that don't look or sound like one church.

What I do

Creative consulting, built for churches.

Led by social media and content strategy — I give your team the direction, systems, and coaching to create well. You keep ownership of the work; I bring the expertise to guide it.

Social Media Strategy

A clear plan for what to post, when, and why — built around your church's goals, audience, and rhythms, with regular reviews to keep it working.

How it works

Simple to start. Easy to keep.

Free Creative Check-Up

A 30-minute review of your social, content, and brand. You walk away with honest feedback and a few quick wins — no pressure.

A Simple Roadmap

If it's a fit, I send a clear one-page plan: where to focus, how we'll work together, and one flat monthly fee.

We Build It Together

Ongoing consulting — strategy, coaching, and reviews that move your team forward. You create; I guide and keep you on track.

Pricing

Priced for access and leadership — not deliverables.

You're not paying for graphics or videos. You're paying for clarity, direction, and the person a pastor calls before any creative, communications, or production decision.

About

Built in the trenches of church production.

I'm Ellis Maryland, founder and leader of Atlanta Church Creatives — a community of 9,100+ church creatives, featured in Church Production Magazine, behind 200+ production meetups and brand activations with Fujifilm and Sony. I've spent years living the camera, the switcher, the volunteer schedule, and the late-night edit.

Now I bring that experience directly into churches as a creative consultant — helping you build your social, content, and brand strategy and coaching your team, with the production know-how to back it all up. Each church gets seasoned creative direction for a fraction of the cost of a hire.
