For Church Plants & New Launches

Look like an established church from week one.

Your launch quality sets the bar for everything that follows. Don't wait until you have budget for video staff. PVA gives church plants the production credibility of established churches from day one. 30-day free trial. Pause anytime if your launch slips.

Why It Matters at Launch

First-time visitors decide in 5 minutes if you're "real."

Church plants don't get a grace period. The first announcements visitors see set their expectation for everything that follows. PVA closes that credibility gap from day one.

Day-one credibility

You can't fake "established" but you can look like a church that takes itself seriously. Production quality is a visible proxy for everything else.

Build attendance momentum

Every video that lands is a piece of word-of-mouth waiting to happen. Visitors share videos that don't suck. Period.

Brand consistency from launch

Most plants drift visually for the first 18 months because there's no system. PVA gives you a baseline brand look you can build on, not patch onto later.

Save your launch team for the work only they can do

Your launch team has 100 things to figure out. Production shouldn't be one of them. Hand it to PVA and let them focus on the relational work.

When To Start

The earlier you start, the cleaner your launch.

Start your PVA trial 4-8 weeks before launch Sunday. Use the trial weeks to dial in your brand, test scripts, and have multiple videos in the can before the doors open.

8-12 weeks out

Brand identity + Manifesto

Start your PVA free trial. We help you nail your brand kit (logo, colors, typography). Order a Manifesto Video for your launch website, the one visitors watch first.

4-8 weeks out

Series branding + first videos

Plan your first sermon series. Order Series Branding ($497) so your launch series feels intentional. Start producing weekly videos so launch Sunday isn't your first one.

Launch Sunday onward

Weekly cadence + momentum

You're in rhythm. Tuesday submission, Friday delivery. Your first 8 weeks of videos are pre-built and ready. You focus on the room, not on the production.

Recommended Launch Stack

The full launch package, if you want it.

Most plants start with just Weekly Video Production. The premium one-times below are optional but high-leverage at launch. None are required.

Recommended Church Plant Stack

Optional combo for plants who want maximum production firepower at launch.

Weekly Video Production
52 videos a year, every Friday. Always required.
$447 / mo
Manifesto Video Optional
2-3 minute cinematic "who we are" video. The one new visitors watch first.
$497 once
Sermon Series Branding Optional
Custom title design + bumper for your launch series. Sets the visual tone.
$497 / series
5-Min Branded Countdown Optional
Pre-service countdown that signals "this is intentional." Use it for years.

Full launch stack
$1,441 in one-time + $447/month ongoing
~$1,888 launch + monthly

For comparison: hiring a launch video producer for the Manifesto alone runs $5,000-15,000. The full PVA launch stack is roughly the cost of one Manifesto from a freelance producer, and you keep the production cadence going.

Plant Questions

Questions every church planter asks.

4-8 weeks out is ideal. Earlier is fine. You'll just be using the trial period to build brand assets and test workflows. Most plants start their PVA trial 6-10 weeks before launch Sunday.
A logo is helpful but not blocking. Most plants don't have a finalized brand at launch. That's totally normal. Upload whatever you have (a wordmark, a placeholder, a basic mark). PVA's themes and hosts adapt to your assets, and you can swap in a polished logo later when it's ready.
Not at all. Start with the $447/month Weekly base. Add the Manifesto when you have budget. It's still useful at month 6 or month 18. The launch stack on this page is the IDEAL setup; the Weekly base alone is a solid launch.
Pause your subscription. No penalty. Resume when you're ready to launch. We've had plants delay 6+ months and resume seamlessly. The trial period also doesn't start until you submit your first script, so you have flexibility.
Opposite. Solo planters benefit from PVA the most. You're 1 person doing 30 jobs. Outsourcing weekly video production to PVA is functionally hiring a media team for a fraction of a part-time hire. Use the trial to test it.
Yes. Use the Manifesto for your launch website and social. Use Social Stories add-on for vertical clips on Instagram and TikTok. Use Sermon Series Branding for your launch series promo. The whole catalog supports pre-launch marketing.

Don't make announcements
an afterthought at launch.

30-day free trial. No credit card. Pause anytime if your launch date slips. Build production momentum before the doors open.
