Advertise to Churches and Reach Pastors with Church Growth Magazine

Reach 85,000 pastors and church staff through trusted digital channels

When your product, service, event, or ministry resource was created for church leaders, broad Christian advertising may not be specific enough.

Church Growth Magazine helps you advertise to churches by placing your message in front of pastors and church staff who actively look for ideas, tools, and services that can strengthen their ministries.

Through FrontGate Media, you can reach this audience with dedicated email, sponsored email placements, website display advertising, and editorial content.

What Is Church Growth Magazine Advertising?

Church Growth Magazine advertising is a digital opportunity for organizations that want to reach pastors, church staff, and ministry decision-makers.

Church Growth Magazine provides practical information about leadership, discipleship, outreach, community engagement, church operations, and finances. Its audience includes 85,000 email subscribers, with pastors representing 60% of the readership and church staff representing 40%.

Advertisers can choose from integrated packages or individual email and website placements.

Why Advertise to Churches Through Church Growth Magazine?

Pastors and ministry leaders are busy. They are also selective about the resources and vendors they trust.

That makes the advertising channel especially important.

Church Growth Magazine places your message inside a digital environment built specifically for church leadership. Instead of trying to reach pastors through a broad consumer campaign, you can speak directly to the people responsible for ministry programs, budgets, technology, staff, facilities, and outreach.

Church Growth readers are looking for practical help in areas such as:

  • Community outreach
  • Church growth strategies
  • Missions
  • Leadership development
  • Financial stewardship
  • Church technology
  • Staffing and volunteer management
  • Children’s and family ministry
  • Facilities and operations

This makes Church Growth a strong option for businesses, ministries, nonprofits, publishers, conference organizers, and service providers that help churches operate or serve their communities more effectively.

What Advertising Options Are Available?

Church Growth Magazine offers several ways to reach pastors and church leaders.

Integrated Church Growth advertising packages

Premium, Gold, and Silver packages combine multiple forms of digital exposure.

Depending on the selected package, a campaign may include:

  • Website display advertising
  • A dedicated email
  • Sponsored placements within Church Growth emails
  • Editorial articles on ChurchGrowthMagazine.com
  • Email promotion of sponsored articles

Current integrated packages provide between 65,000 and 220,000 combined impressions and subscriber touchpoints, depending on the package and placement mix.

Dedicated email advertising

A dedicated email places your message directly in subscribers’ inboxes.

This option works well when you have:

  • A clear offer
  • An upcoming event
  • A new ministry or church resource
  • A product launch
  • A downloadable guide
  • A strong landing page
  • A specific call to action

Dedicated sends may target part of the subscriber list or the full list, depending on the selected package.

Sponsored email placements

Your advertisement can also appear inside a Church Growth email.

Available placements may include:

  • Top-of-email ads
  • Mid-content ads
  • Bottom-content ads
  • Single-sponsor placements
  • Shared display placements

These options allow your brand to appear alongside articles and resources that church leaders are already reading.

Website display advertising

Display advertising is available on the Church Growth Magazine website.

Common ad sizes include:

  • 728 x 90 leaderboard
  • 300 x 600 large display ad
  • 300 x 250 display ad

Ads may run on the home page, article pages, or across the site, depending on the selected placement.

Sponsored editorial content

Sponsored articles give you room to explain the value of your product or service in greater depth.

Select packages include 600-word editorial articles published on ChurchGrowthMagazine.com. Those articles may also receive additional exposure through Church Growth emails.

This format is useful when church leaders need more information before they can understand how your resource will help them.

What Do Church Growth Readers Purchase?

Church Growth readers influence purchasing decisions across many areas of church life and administration.

These areas include:

  • Leadership and staff development
  • Accounting and financial management
  • Church management software
  • Technology
  • Children’s ministry
  • Volunteer management
  • Fundraising and generosity
  • Security and risk management
  • Employee benefits
  • Background checks
  • Construction and renovation
  • Insurance
  • Digital giving
  • Video streaming
  • Legal services
  • Music ministry
  • Vacation Bible School resources

Because 75% of readers have major purchasing authority, Church Growth can be valuable for organizations selling directly to churches and ministry teams.

Is Church Growth Advertising Right for Your Organization?

Church Growth advertising may be a strong fit when your organization provides something that helps pastors or church teams:

  • Lead more effectively
  • Reach their communities
  • Grow or strengthen their congregations
  • Manage finances or operations
  • Equip staff and volunteers
  • Improve church technology
  • Support children and families
  • Plan events or ministry programs
  • Address facilities, security, or risk
  • Discover new books, training, or ministry resources

The strongest campaigns begin with a specific audience and a clear next step.

For example, an advertisement aimed at senior pastors should not use the same message as one aimed at church administrators, worship leaders, children’s ministry directors, or financial decision-makers.

FrontGate Media can help you evaluate the available placements and determine which combination best supports your campaign.
