PAIN SECTION

Headline: The hidden cost of figuring it out yourself

Copy: Let’s do the math on the 90 days:

  • 8 hours watching YouTube tutorials that didn’t quite fit your situation
  • 6 hours preparing graphics and announcements that people still ignored
  • 4 hours troubleshooting livestream issues you could’ve prevented
  • 5 hours scrolling Instagram wondering how other churches make it look easy
  • 3 hours in meetings explaining to your pastor why you can’t implement what they saw at the megachurch conference
  • ∞ hours wondering if you’re even qualified to be doing this

= 26+ hours you’ll never get back.

And that’s just 90 days. Multiply that by four years, and you’ve spent entire months of your life reinventing wheels that already exist.

There’s a better way.

In our inaugural year, 350+ churches enrolled - from 42 states and 8 countries. Solo volunteers in small-town Iowa. Creative directors at megachurches in Texas. Youth pastors in Canada. All figuring out the same thing: there’s a better way than YouTube University.

Full-Testimony (in lightbox upon click):

“This course is designed for those working at a church who find themselves as the primary creative.

The course direction, downloads, and instruction were well organized, highly thought out, thorough in detail, and generous with practical downloads that I will keep and reference well into my time in ministry as a creative. If you want to jumpstart and/or hone your creative skillset in a specific-to-ministry, educational setting - you need to take this course! It’s an investment that will pay back tenfold in your craft, and most importantly in your ministry as a creative.” — Hope Schools, Social Media Specialist, Phoenix, Arizona

WHO IS THIS FOR

Headline: Who is Certified for?

For lead pastors who can’t find the right people

Finding qualified creatives is nearly impossible. Training the people you already have? That’s doable. Certified is your engine for developing a creative team that can actually execute.

For churches tired of ‘good enough’ creative

You’ve always cared about design, production quality, and attention to detail. You just didn’t have a structured path forward. Certified is that path.

For solo creatives drowning in responsibilities

You can do a little of everything. Problem is, you’re responsible for all of it. Certified helps you systematize the chaos so you’re not just surviving - you’re thriving.

For tech volunteers who learned everything on YouTube

You’re passionate about production and tech, but you’ve been piecing it together from random tutorials. Certified gives you real training so you can lead with confidence.

For small churches punching above their weight

Limited budget doesn’t mean limited impact. Certified helps you maximize what you have and execute at a level that surprises people.

For directors who need their team on the same page

You’ve got willing people. What you need is a unified vision and a clear plan. Certified aligns your team so everyone’s moving in the same direction.

TESTIMONY #2

Excerpt: “Our in-church attendance has increased because of our digital platforms.” — Michal Joy Falk, Director of Media Ministry, Crossroads Church

Photo: Need placeholder, this will be a person holding their Certificate

Full-Testimony (in lightbox upon click):

“In 2024, my local church created a new Director of Media Ministry role focused on capturing and sharing individual’s stories as well as memories from church events to help inspire others of God’s work within our church and community. Having had some experience dabbling in photography and videography previously, I was offered the job. I did some investigating with other churches and came across some podcasts by Pro Church Tools. In early 2025, I felt overwhelmed and kind of at a loss as to what to do with this new job and all the content available. It was at that time, Pro Church Tools announced Pro Church Certified. Looking at the module materials, it was everything entailed with my new position and so I knew I needed to seize this opportunity.

During the program, what was most helpful to me were the workshops in which Brady walked through step-by-step how to use various programs to create a product within that module and/or understand the why behind it. It was an extra bonus to have the downloads available! Having the access to go back and rewatch the videos was like having a personal assistant. Each module enhanced how I took a photo, edited a video or created a social media post. The church was noticing a change and becoming more engaged in digital platforms. It had nothing to do with me, but everything to do with intentionality with the creation of said content.

Since the program, our social media accounts have increased in followers, and more content is being spread outside of our followers. We share less announcement type things and more reels or posts that engage people with the heart of our church - being authentic Christ followers. Our in-church attendance has increased because of our digital platforms.

This program changes how churches use social media and website platforms. It helps you become more intentional and strategic about content rather than just taking a picture to have a picture. Whether we like it or not, our world is constantly changing in digital ways. The Church needs to seize this communication shift and use it to its advantage. Pro Church Certified will give you a foundation to manage the ever-changing digital world to reach more people for Jesus.”

— Michal Joy Falk, Director of Media Ministry, Crossroads Church

TESTIMONY #3

Excerpt: “Go for it. Certified is an incredible resource that provides structure, clarity, and confidence — especially if you’ve ever felt like you were figuring things out on your own.” — Rachel Stone, Marketing & Communications Director, Violet Baptist Church

Photo: Need placeholder, this will be a person holding their Certificate

Full-Testimony (in lightbox upon click):

“Before Pro Church Certified, I was largely self-taught in many areas of my role as Marketing & Communications Director. I relied on YouTube videos and other online resources, trying to piece together a training system that would help me create structure and consistency in our church’s marketing efforts. It often felt scattered, and I knew I needed something more cohesive to move forward with confidence.

When I discovered Pro Church Certified, it was exactly what I had been searching for. Everything I had been trying to build on my own was already thoughtfully organized and ready to implement. The frameworks, lessons, and tools made it simple to apply what I was learning in real time. Each module gave me clarity and direction to take the next step with confidence.

Since completing the program, my confidence in my role has grown tremendously. Bit by bit, I’ve been making progress updating our marketing and communications systems. While it’s still a work in progress, I can see how the systems are taking shape and being successfully implemented throughout the church.

I would encourage anyone considering Pro Church Certified to go for it. It’s an incredible resource that provides structure, clarity, and confidence — especially if you’ve ever felt like you were figuring things out on your own.”

— Rachel Stone, Marketing & Communications Director, Violet Baptist Church

TESTIMONY #4

Excerpt: “Joining Pro Church Certified is a no-brainer because there truly is nothing else like it!” — Paul Brooks-Dudgeon, Worship Pastor, North Coast Family Fellowship

Photo: Need placeholder, this will be a person holding their Certificate

Full-Testimony (in lightbox upon click):

“In the past few years, I’ve been assuming a lot of the communications work within our church, including social media, website creation, management, and upkeep, as well as photography and videography. I hadn’t really received any formal training, and most of what I did was from YouTube University and from trial and error (a lot of error).

When the opportunity came to go through Pro Church Certified it was an absolute no-brainer for myself and our church. All of the modules and content being covered was exactly what our church needed.

Going through the program this past year has been a total game changer for myself as a creative and communicator. It’s not only the wealth of knowledge in each module, but the hands-on, practical application.

Having completed the program, I feel much better equipped to help our church. For Easter this year, I was able to use the skills I’d picked up in the videography module to film the testimony of a man in our church who had recently turned his life over to the Lord after battling crippling addiction.

If you’re someone who feels the full weight of responsibility when it comes to church communications and creative work but don’t really know how to fully embody the role, this program is definitely the right fit for you. Joining Pro Church Certified is a no-brainer because there truly is nothing else like it out there!”

— Paul Brooks-Dudgeon, Worship Pastor, North Coast Family Fellowship

MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE

  • Pre-Headline: 100% MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE
  • Headline: Still on the fence? We’ll make this painfully easy.

Copy: Complete the first module - Photography. Do the hands-on exercise. If you don’t see immediate improvement in your Sunday morning shots, or if you just decide Certified isn’t for you, email us within 30 days. We’ll refund you. No questions, no hoops, no guilt trips.

Why would we do this? Because in Certified’s inaugural year, we saw 350+ churches go through this program. The ones who actually do the work? They don’t ask for refunds. They ask for more modules.

FAQs

  • Pre-Headline: FAQs
  • Headline: Get Answers

What is the time commitment for this program?

Certified is self-paced. You’re welcome to blast through all the content ASAP, or, take a more measured approach.

Each module contains 1-4 hours of training. With each exercise requiring just 1-2 hours of effort.

Couldn’t I just learn all this from YouTube for free?

You could. And you probably already have - that’s why you’re here.

Here’s the thing: YouTube is great for learning a specific skill. It’s terrible for building a complete system.

You can watch 40 videos on photography. But which order do you watch them in? Which techniques actually work in a church context? And how do you know you’re not learning bad habits that’ll take years to unlearn?

Certified isn’t just information - it’s a proven sequence. Each skill builds on the previous one. Each lesson is optimized for church ministry, not generic content creation. And each exercise forces you to actually apply what you learned, not just consume content.

Could you eventually piece this together yourself? Sure. If you’ve got 2-3 years and enjoy frustration.

Most people would rather skip that part.

How do I receive my Certificate for completing the program?

To receive your certification at the end of the program, you’ll need to complete and submit each of the exercises from the nine modules. Your certificate will be delivered to you via mail.

How long will it take for me to finish the program?

Certified consists of nine modules. You’re welcome to complete each module at your own pace. And there’s no deadline.

Does my enrollment work for more than 1 person?

The cost of enrollment entitles you to a single license. Need more than three licenses? Shoot us a message and we can set you up with a bulk discount.

How long can I access the Pro Church Certified course content?

Certified content is viewable online, 24/7. You can watch at your own pace and registration grants you lifetime access to the program.

What gear do I need to participate in Certified?

All you need is access to a computer, phone, and an Internet connection to enroll as a student in Pro Church Certified. You are not required to purchase any camera or tech gear.

What if this training isn’t a fit, or doesn’t meet my needs for some reason?

No problem. We offer a full 30-day “try and apply” money-back guarantee on your purchase. Try the first module of Pro Church Certified and apply your new skills with the hands-on exercise. If after that, Certified’s still not for you? We’ll give you your payment back. No hassle.

Just send an email to hello@prochurchtools.com and a member of the team will happily process your request.

LETTER FROM BRADY SIGN-OFF

15 years ago, I couldn’t operate a camera.

Today, I train creative teams at churches worldwide. Over 500,000 ministry leaders follow Pro Church Tools. And in its first year, 350+ churches went through Certified.

Here’s what I learned: Churches can’t rely on discovering talent. The reward is in developing talent.

I didn’t have a roadmap. So my journey was trial and error. Years of it. And I don’t want that for you - or your team.

Pro Church Certified is everything I learned in 15+ years, condensed into 9 modules. The shortcuts I wish I had. The frameworks that actually work in a church context. The systems you can implement this Sunday.

You’ll skip the stages that took me years to figure out. And by the time you get your certificate, you won’t just be qualified - you’ll be confident.

Ready to help your church navigate the biggest communication shift in 500 years.

In Certified’s first year, over 350 churches enrolled. From Texas to Germany. From solo volunteers to megachurch teams.

Join us won’t you?

See you on the inside,

Subject: Professional Development Request — Pro Church Certified

Hi [Pastor Name],

I wanted to request approval to enroll in Pro Church Certified, a training program specifically designed for church creative teams.

The program covers all nine core creative disciplines: Photography, Videography, Branding, Live Production, Web, Communications, Social Media, Promotions, and Team Building.

The investment is a $1,990 one-time or $199/month for 12 months. This includes lifetime access, all future updates, and a professional certificate upon completion.

Instead of piecing together skills from YouTube and trial-and-error, I’ll have a proven system to implement immediately. Over 350 churches went through Certified in its first year and it’s open now for new enrollment.

Happy to discuss more!

LAST SECTION

  • Headline: Ready to Stop Figuring It Out Alone?

Copy: Every week you wait is another week you’re piecing together YouTube tutorials that don’t quite fit your situation. Another Sunday where your livestream could be better. Another social post that gets 12 views instead of 1,200.

The question isn’t whether you’ll eventually need this training. The question is how many more months you want to spend without it.

Additional Testimonies

Testimony — Jared Herdman, Children’s Pastor, Franklin Road Baptist Church

Excerpt: “Honestly, it was on the same level as the online graduate courses I’ve taken.”

[HEADSHOT LINK]

Full-Testimony:

“Before Pro Church Certified, we were running on what I’d call a ‘not-so-sophisticated shotgun system’ - scrambling all the time to get designs done whenever possible. Our lack of systems caused us to run late on projects or miss them completely.

I was already familiar with Brady’s work and really wanted church-focused graphic training, so joining felt like a natural fit. The experience didn’t disappoint. Honestly, it was on the same level as the online graduate courses I’ve taken - well done with a smooth, intuitive dashboard and all the content readily available.

My real ‘aha moment’ came when I learned about creating levels for different ministry requests. It completely changed the way I think about promotions. Now I have an unbiased, easy explanation for why some events get promoted a certain way and why we choose alternative methods for others.

As we begin implementing these changes in the new year, I anticipate our team’s planning and preparation will be far more intentional. This will allow us to get ahead on design and promotion work - for once. We have a content calendar plan for the first time since I’ve come on staff. I feel equipped with a process I can trust to not let things slip through the cracks and give proper emphasis to every aspect of our ministry.

If you’re thinking about joining, do it. Pro Church Certified is a top-notch course packed with all the skills you need as a church creative - taught through the lens of church work. You won’t get that anywhere else. It teaches the necessary skills for church communications without the inflated prerequisites of a generic graphic design degree. Everything is hyper-focused on church work, and that’s exactly what we needed.”

— Jared Herdman, Children’s Pastor, Franklin Road Baptist Church

Testimony — Jenna Haveman, Creative Director, Midland Alliance Church

Excerpt: “The downloadable resources are invaluable! I know I’ll be referencing them for years to come.”

[HEADSHOT LINK]

Full-Testimony:

“Before joining Pro Church Certified, I knew I wanted to serve my church well, but didn’t feel fully equipped with the knowledge or systems to do so. I decided to join because I wanted more structure and confidence in how I approach creative work within my church.

Going through the program was a great experience. What stood out was how practical and flexible it was. I could work through the lessons at my own pace, and the downloadable resources were/are invaluable! I know I’ll be referencing these resources for years to come.

Pro Church Certified helped me reshape my approach to communication and creativity. I’m excited to continue to share what I’ve learned with my church and begin implementing some of these strategies in a more organized and effective way.

If you’re considering Pro Church Certified, I highly recommend it. The flexibility, practical teaching, and clear systems make it incredibly valuable. This program gave me confidence and tools I didn’t realize I was missing. Allow yourself to stretch and grow by taking this course.

I’m thankful for the Pro Church team and for their obedience to God’s call in sharing this course with the world.”

— Jenna Haveman, Creative Director, Midland Alliance Church
