Church marketing, handled
You didn't go to seminary
to run Google ads.
Shepherd Station runs your entire church marketing operation — Google ads, Facebook leads, website, follow-up sequences — so you can focus on the people walking through the door.

You’re not lazy.
You don’t lack talent.
You just can’t do the job
of ten people.
And now you don’t have to.
“I drove myself half crazy trying to understand Google and Facebook ads. I’m a theologian — running ad campaigns is not my calling. Shepherd Station handles all of it so I can focus on the people walking through the door.”
Pastor Ben Fischer
Riverview Church
Most pastors are paying too much
for too little.
The average growing church stitches together an ad agency, an email tool, church software, and a web developer. That's a $700–2,400/month stack — and none of it talks to each other.
What you're probably paying now
How it works
With Shepherd Station, three things happen, automatically, every week.
Ads run themselves
Shepherd Station builds your Google and Facebook campaigns from scratch — copy, targeting, budget, all of it.
Leads land in one inbox
Every form submission, Facebook lead, and SMS reply flows into one place. AI drafts a follow-up text in your voice before you even see the notification.
Visitors become members
Automated welcome sequences, Sunday reminders, and re-engagement messages run in the background. You show up on Sunday; the system shows up every other day.
Did you know Google gives your church
$10,000 every month?
For free.
That’s $120,000 a year to put your church in front of people searching for “church near me,” in your city.
But the ones that do often struggle to use it. The reason? Google has strict rules about the use of grant money that are easy to violate without even knowing it.
What Shepherd Station does
Everything included. One price.
No add-ons. No per-feature upgrades. No surprises.
Everything Planning Center does.
Plus the marketing it never will.
PCO is great church software. But it will not find your next visitor.
Shepherd Station replaces
Plus what PCO doesn’t offer
Planning Center starts at $14/mo and scales to $400+/mo for a full suite. Shepherd Station is $97/mo, all-in.
Switching takes hours.
Not months.
Switching is easy. No spreadsheet editing. No ghost columns that don’t import. AI handles the entire process — white-glove handling on all your Planning Center data as it transfers to Shepherd Station. You never touch a formula.
Export from Planning Center
Download your contacts and giving history as a CSV directly from PCO. No special tools, no IT help — it's a standard export any staff member can run.
Upload once. AI does the rest.
Drop your files into Shepherd Station. Every contact, every giving record, every family connection imports automatically. Your church history is preserved.
Live website. Running ads.
AI builds your church website using your own content and brand. Google and Facebook campaigns go live. You're reaching new visitors the same day you sign up.
We don’t touch your offerings.
Have you noticed that most giving platforms take 1–3% of every donation — a tithe on your tithes? Shepherd Station charges a flat monthly fee and keeps 0% of your congregation’s giving. Every dollar goes to your ministry.
Your church data makes
your ads smarter every week.
Every giver, volunteer, and visitor who touches your church builds the audience that finds your next one.
Givers → Custom Audiences
Your donor list syncs to Facebook Custom Audiences and Google Customer Match. Your ads reach people who look exactly like your most committed members.
Visitors → Retargeting
Everyone who fills out a visit form, checks in a child, or lands on your website enters a retargeting pool. Your ads follow up automatically — without you lifting a finger.
Lookalikes → Growth
Facebook and Google use your congregation's data to find new people in your city who match the profile of those already attending. Reach compounds over time.
Shepherd Station knows your church.
It even writes like you do.
Shepherd Station learns your church's name, voice, and community. Every ad headline, every follow-up text, every website page it generates sounds like it came from you — because it was built around you.
Real churches. Real communities.
