For Smaller Churches

You don't need a media team.
You need announcements that actually work.

Smaller churches have all the announcement problems and none of the budget for video staff. PVA gives sub-200 churches the same production quality as megachurches, at a flat $447 per month. 30-day free trial. No credit card.

Why Smaller Churches Stay Stuck

It's not that you don't care. It's that the math doesn't work.

Most smaller churches assume professional video is for the big guys. The actual blockers are mostly imagined.

What's been blocking you

  • "Hiring a videographer at $50K/year is impossible for our budget."
  • "Our volunteers are already stretched thin. I can't ask them to do this too."
  • "We can't afford the equipment, the software, or the learning curve."
  • "PVA looks like it's for megachurches. Will they even take us?"
  • "We don't have a brand kit. We'd look generic on their videos."
  • "We're growing slowly. What if we sign up and can't keep paying?"

The actual answer

  • $447/month is less than 1% of one full-time staff hire. Less than your Sunday catering.
  • Volunteers are freed by PVA, not added to. They get back to the ministry only they can do.
  • Zero gear. Zero software. Zero learning curve. We do all of it.
  • PVA serves churches across the size spectrum, from single-site small churches to large multisite networks. Same product, same price, same care.
  • No polished brand kit? Upload what you have. PVA's themes and templates adapt to your colors and logo even if you're still figuring out the rest.
  • 30-day free trial without a credit card. Cancel anytime, no contract. Risk is zero.
The Real Math for a Smaller Church

Less than a Sunday lunch run for the team. More impact than a part-time hire.

Pastors of smaller churches stew over the $447/month. So let's actually do the math against the alternatives you're really comparing it to.

What $447/month actually buys you

52 fully-produced videos a year ~$103/video
A part-time video volunteer (10 hrs/wk × $25/hr) $13,000/yr
A part-time hire ($25K/year + benefits) $32,000+/yr
A full-time videographer ($52K/year loaded) $60,000+/yr
PVA Weekly Video Production $5,364/yr

A smaller church with a $250K annual budget spends about 2% of that on video communications via PVA. A in-house hire would be 20%+. The math just works.

No Tier Penalties

Smaller Church Questions

The questions every small church pastor asks first.

PVA serves churches across the size spectrum, from single-site smaller churches to large multisite networks. We do not have a tiered product. The 175-person church gets the same production team and same quality as the larger churches we serve. No church is "too small."
Upload whatever you have: your logo, brand colors, a few photos of your church space. PVA's themes and hosts adapt to your visual identity, even if you're still tightening it up. We've onboarded plenty of churches without a polished brand book. Your videos will feel custom from week one.
Pause for the summer. Cancel before your next billing date. There's no contract and no penalty. Many smaller churches pause through July and August and resume in September. Totally fine.
Run a free audit first. Drop your last 4 weeks of announcement scripts into our free tool. It'll grade them on a 100-point scale across 6 engagement categories. If your scores are already great, you don't need PVA. If they're not, you'll see exactly where the gap is. No commitment.
Yes. PVA serves Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Anglican, non-denominational, Pentecostal, and lots more. The host you pick, the theme you select, and the script you write all match your church's voice. We follow your lead, not the other way around.
Choose the Standard or Upbeat theme. They have a warmer, more human feel than Modern or Urban. Use one of our pastoral hosts. The result feels professional but not glossy. Watch a few examples on the homepage to see the range.
