Storytellers works alongside missions, ministries, and churches to tell their story, and the stories of those they serve. We provide assistance from consultation on how to communicate effectively, to production of material, and even to managing ongoing strategies.
Effective communication requires knowledge, time, and varied skillsets. We believe that the time of Kingdom workers would be better spent living out the Gospel, rather than spending inordinate amounts of money and time creating content and materials. We are a ministry to your ministry, and serve you at a fraction of the cost of similar professionals.
Storytellers primary staff has decades of experience in journalism, ministry, missions, promotions, photography/video, graphic design, communications and print production, among others. We also maintain relationships with many individuals who add to our professional capabilities.
Storytellers works with your church/mission/ministry to tailor personalized package of services that meet your specific needs, as well as offer the services on an a la carte basis. It’s your story, and we simply want to help you tell it.
ACT I – Setting the Scene
We know beginnings are difficult. Developing your mission statement, defining your ministry’s communication strategy, and creating the vehicles to connect with others is no small task. They are, however, indispensable tools to sharing your story.

There are amazing stories happening all around you every day. Everyone your ministry touches has their own personal narrative of struggle and success. Your ministry has a story. You have a story. As you move beyond setting the scene, it is time to dig into such stories. Here is the meat of your message, the part of the narrative where you connect with your audience and invite them to join your journey and get to know, really know, you and your work.
- Promotional material design and creation
- Graphic design
- Print and online media
- Content generation
- On-field photography and video
- Copy editing
- Social media posting
- Audience growth
God’s redemptive story hasn’t ended, and neither has your ministry’s role in it. Keeping the story alive and your audience involved is an ongoing process of refinement and continued communication. Just like a good book or television series, you want to keep people wanting more.

We want your ministry to succeed. To that end we work alongside your ministry to help you identify what your communication needs are, and together we create solutions to fill those needs. Every ministry is different, so we customize packages specifically to fill in the gaps. To give you a better idea of what this might look like, here are some sample packages:
Looking for a place to start? We help you refine your message, strategy, and audience. We create logo and branding templates, social media accounts, and help you learn to leverage them effectively including sample posts.

You’ve set the scene, know your audience and want to really impact them. Storytellers will come to you in your field and work alongside you to capture your story as it unfolds. We design and produce a range of video, photography, print, and digital material for you to use however you wish. We tie them all together with consistent looks, color, and language. We also create a series of social media posts for you to use at your discretion.
