How much does church social media management cost?
With Faithful Reach, the Seed plan is $100 a week (about $433 a month) for Instagram and Facebook with 2 posts a week. Harvest is $170 a week (about $737 a month) for up to 4 platforms, 4 posts a week, and replies to comments and messages. Both have a one-time $200 setup fee and no contract. Our cost guide compares these with other providers' published prices.
What does our church need to send you each week?
Very little: what's coming up (events, sermon series, special Sundays), any photos or video you're happy to share, and a few minutes to review the drafts. We put everything in a shared Google Drive folder with the visuals and captions, and nothing is posted until you approve it.
Will the posts sound like our church?
That's what the setup is for. Before anything is posted we write a brand guidelines document, a content strategy and a content calendar for your church. You review every post before it goes out, with unlimited revisions.
Which platforms do you manage?
Seed covers Instagram and Facebook. Harvest covers up to 4 platforms, chosen from Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn.
Do you reply to comments and messages?
Yes. On Harvest our team replies to comments and messages daily. On Seed you can add it for $30 a week per platform.
Is there a contract?
No. It's month to month, billed weekly, and you can leave at any time. The $200 setup fee is paid once, before work begins.
Can you plan around Christmas, Easter and our church calendar?
Yes. Your content calendar is built around your church year: sermon series, Advent and Christmas Eve, Lent and Easter, VBS, back-to-school and your own events, planned weeks ahead so invitations go out in time.
Can you run Facebook and Instagram ads for our church?
Yes. You set the ad budget and pay Meta directly; we build, run and adjust the campaigns for a management fee of 10% of ad spend, plus any design fees for ad creatives.
How soon will we see results?
Most clients begin seeing consistent engagement growth within the first 30 to 60 days. Social media rewards consistency, and keeping you consistent is the job.
Should we hire a church social media manager instead?
If you need someone in the building every Sunday, a staff member may suit you better. If you need a consistent, well-designed presence and a plan, an agency usually costs far less than a salary. Our cost guide sets out the numbers for each option.
Is Faithful Reach only for churches?
No. We work with churches, ministries, Christian nonprofits and faith-based businesses. Christian organizations are our focus, not a sideline: we're not a general agency that also takes church work.
