Setup
Website + Foundation
A mobile-first church or ministry site, already structured for search and AI answers, populated with your real copy.
One-time setup
Learn moreOne-person studio · Churches and ministries
Your sermons already have the content. Most churches never ship it.
Virts is a one-person, AI-native studio. I turn weekly messages, events, and local search questions into a site people can find, posts that go out, and pages AI tools can cite.
- 3 clients max
- Month-to-month
- Andrew reviews every draft
The problem
Good churches stay invisible while the archive fills up.
The site looks closed
A first-time guest on a phone cannot find service times, kids info, or what Sunday actually feels like. They leave.
Search finds someone else
Families still type “church near me.” AI tools now answer that too. If you have not written the answers, another church has.
Social goes quiet
The feed dies the week the volunteer is out. The sermon that could have fueled a month sits in the archive.
Events land late
Easter, Christmas, a series launch — announced three days before, with no page, no ads, no FAQ.
What I do
Three packages. One system.
Site foundation, an ongoing visibility retainer, and campaign kits. Built to stack. Priced as productized work, not an open-ended retainer that never ends.
Retainer
Visibility + Content
The main monthly program: local SEO and AEO, a sermon-fueled content pipeline, social sets, and static ad variants.

Event + Campaign Kits
A complete promo package for Easter, Christmas, a series launch, or a conference: landing copy, social, ads, SEO/AEO support.
Per campaign
Learn moreHow it works
The only raw material I need is what you already preach.
01
Ingest
Sermons (audio, video, notes, or a YouTube link), event briefs, brand voice, theological boundaries, and local context.
02
Extract
Themes, quotes, applications, and the questions people in your town actually ask — including the ones they type into ChatGPT.
03
Map
Those pieces become social posts, static ads, SEO and AEO pages, event kits, or site copy. Not a blank calendar.
04
Review and deliver
I check voice and theology. You approve. Then it ships as a package, not a drip of unfinished drafts.
Sample month
What a month looks like when the sermon is the source.
Demonstration only. Oak Creek Community Church is a fictional congregation. This is the shape of a month, not a client result.
Source material: Four Sunday sermons from Luke 14, plus an Easter invite brief. Series: The Table.
Social set
Sunday invite
This Sunday we keep walking through Luke 14. Jesus is not filling a VIP list. He is sending people out to the roads. 10am. Kids are welcome. Address and parking notes are on the site.
Quote card
“When you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind.” Luke 14:13. This week’s table is bigger than the one we usually set.
Midweek application
Who in your week never gets invited — not because you dislike them, because they are not on the list? Text one name to a friend in the church and make a plan. That is the sermon, lived out on a Thursday.
First-time guest
First Sunday? Come as you are. Service is 10am. Kids check-in is in the lobby. Coffee is average. The welcome is not.
Static ad variants
- Easter at Oak Creek — 10am. Kids program. No tickets.
- Looking for a church in Oak Creek? Sunday 10am. Come once, no signup.
AEO page opening
What to expect your first Sunday at Oak Creek Community Church
Oak Creek Community Church meets Sundays at 10am at 400 Maple. Parking is behind the building. Kids check-in is in the lobby. The service is about 75 minutes. You do not need to register, dress up, or know anyone first.
Easter Sunday kit
- Landing block: times, kids, accessibility, what to expect
- Eight social posts across the two weeks before Easter
- Two static invite ads
- FAQ copy for AI and on-page: childcare, length, dress, parking
Why this
Like a comms team, without hiring one.
Tools are cheap and quiet. A hire is slow and expensive. Most agencies sell volume. I sell a capped, sermon-first system I can actually run.

I shape the exact mix of website work, retainer, and event kits around your calendar and bandwidth. No 12-month contract. The roster stays small on purpose.
- Strategy and production, done for you
- You work with Andrew, not an account layer
- Month-to-month after the first batch
- 3 clients at a time, so the work stays close
The person
Ten years in youth ministry. Then I started building the systems churches were cobbling together by hand.
I am Andrew Virts. I spent a decade on church staff, then moved into software and marketing technology for a global Bible ministry. Virts is the side of the work I still want in the room: sermons that do not die in the archive, sites that do not embarrass the greeters.
More about AndrewQuestions pastors actually ask
How much time does our staff have to give you?
Plan on a short intake, then about an hour a month. A sermon link, event dates, and a yes or no on drafts is enough. Programs without any input flatten into generic copy, so I will not run an account that way.
Do you replace our communications volunteer?
No. I take production off their plate: drafts, images, page structure, the monthly cadence. Your people still know the congregation. They approve, and they stay the face of the church.
How do you handle theology and brand voice?
Intake includes voice notes, phrases you never use, and theological boundaries. AI drafts from your sermons and that kit. I review every batch before you see it. Nothing publishes without your sign-off.
Is this really month-to-month?
Yes. No 12-month lock-in. Visibility work compounds after 60–90 days, so I recommend giving it a quarter, but you can stop at the end of any month.
We're a small church. Is this for us?
Yes, if you preach regularly and want a system more than a pile of tools. The roster is capped at three clients, so I take churches that will actually use what ships — size is not the filter.
Do you run Google Ads, Grants, or weekly video?
Not in this offer. I do not manage ad accounts, Google Ad Grants, or weekly video editing. Static ad creatives and sermon-to-social copy are in the retainer. Video and paid-media ops stay with you or a specialist.
What do we actually receive each month?
A defined batch: social captions plus static images, a small set of ad variants, and SEO/AEO page work or updates. Event kits are separate, scoped to a date. You will know the count before we start.
Bring a recent sermon. We'll map the month.
Twenty minutes. No pitch deck. If it's a fit, we talk scope. If it isn't, I'll say so. Roster is 3 churches at a time.
