Why Ellis
I built one of the Southeast's largest church creative communities.
For four years I've brought church creatives together every week — in person and online — listening to their struggles, solving real creative problems, and growing Atlanta Church Creatives into a thriving community, including a Facebook group nearly 1,800 strong. That's the lens I bring into your church.

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
Helping churches build stronger creative ministries.
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.
Content Strategy
A repeatable system for turning sermons and events into a week of content your team can actually produce — so good moments stop going to waste.
Brand & Visual Direction
Guidance on a consistent look and voice across graphics, slides, and print — so your church feels intentional everywhere it shows up.
Team Coaching & Training
Equip and train your volunteer creatives through workshops and one-on-one coaching, so they grow in skill and confidence — and stick around.
Production Consulting
Guidance on livestream and Sunday production — setup, gear, and workflow — plus training so your volunteer team can run it confidently.
Who this is for
Built for churches that…
Have a volunteer creative team
Know they should be posting more
Feel inconsistent online
Need help building real systems
Want creative direction without a full-time hire
Are ready to tell their story well
02 — How it works
Simple to start. Easy to keep.
1
Free Creative Assessment
A focused review of your social, content, brand, and production — you walk away with honest feedback and a few quick wins, no pressure.
2
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.
3
We Build It Together
Ongoing consulting — strategy, coaching, and reviews that move your team forward. You create; I guide and keep you on track.
The heart of it
“Don’t create alone.”
Every church has a story worth telling well. My job is to help yours show up with clarity, consistency, and craft — and to equip your people to carry it.
What success looks like
What changes when we work together.
Consistent social media
Your church shows up every week — not in scattered bursts.
Clear communication
Your people actually know what's happening and when.
Stronger volunteer teams
Trained, confident creatives who don't burn out.
Better production systems
Sundays run smoother with far less last-minute stress.
A recognizable brand
One consistent look and voice across everything.
More engagement
A congregation that shares, invites, and shows up.
03 — 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.
