"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."

Start your free 14-day trialMost pastors today 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.

How it works
With Shepherd Station, three things happen, automatically, every week.
01
Connected ads work for you
Once approved accounts are connected, Shepherd Station helps build Google and Facebook campaign copy, targeting, and budgets.
02
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.
03
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.
Most pastors have never heard of this next part:
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 instead:
- It walks you through applying for the Grant
- It builds campaigns that meet Google's eligibility rules
- It helps you review keyword quality signals
- It helps you put an approved grant to work
- It surfaces compliance issues once Google access is connected
