Church marketing mentorship

Mentorship is more than growing your skill set. It's investing in yourself & your church's growth.

Practical, one-on-one mentorship for church marketers, communicators, and creatives who carry the responsibility of getting people's attention—and moving them toward a next step.

Bring the campaigns, content calendars, announcements, emails, unanswered questions, and messy systems you are working through right now. We'll make the work clearer, stronger, and more effective together.

For the person behind the message

You don't need more random advice.

You need someone who understands ministry, marketing, and the pressure of making Sunday happen every seven days.

Maybe you are a communications director trying to lead with more confidence. A creative carrying social, video, email, and announcements at the same time. Or the first person your church has ever hired to own marketing and communications. I'll help you stop reacting to requests and start building a strategy that serves your church's mission.

Your mentor

Jesse LaBauve

I do this because I love the local church. My heart is to see churches grow, lives changed, and people brought to faith in Jesus. I love mentoring and training the people who carry a heart for the operational side of that work—the ones building the systems and content that carry the message.

My goal is to help you become more than a marketer or communicator: an architect who designs the systems, processes, and content that move people toward their next step. That's how churches master step one of the Great Commission—marketing.

What we can work on

Here's what you will learn.

Attract visitors

Turn church growth goals into campaigns, content, and clear next steps that move people from attention to attendance.

Build the content engine

Create a sustainable strategy for social media and YouTube without chasing every trend or burning out your team.

Communicate clearly

Strengthen announcements, copy, email, and text—utilizing AI to move faster without sounding robotic—so people know what matters and what to do next.

Connect the system

Use workflows and automations to make follow-up more consistent, personal, and useful—not robotic.

One-on-one mentorship

Your role. Your church. Your work.

Focused coaching built around what you are responsible for right now. We can review strategy, sharpen real work, solve roadblocks, and build the confidence to lead your church's communications—not just complete another task list.

Strategy reviews

Bring what you are planning and get a second set of eyes before it goes out.

Real work, live feedback

Content calendars, announcements, campaigns, and emails—not hypotheticals.

Roadblocks solved

Name what keeps getting stuck and work through it with someone who has done it.

Confidence to lead

Grow from completing task lists to owning your church's communications.

For pastors and church leaders

Don't just hire them. Develop them.

Your new marketing or communications hire may have talent without a roadmap. Give them an experienced guide who can help turn raw ability into focused leadership.

Mentorship can complement your leadership by helping them assess the current system, prioritize what matters, strengthen their strategic thinking, and build repeatable tools for content, campaigns, communication, and follow-up.

Train your communications staff

Let's see if it fits

You don't have to figure this role out alone.

Apply in two minutes. Tell me what you are responsible for, where you feel stuck, and what you want to become better at. If it's a fit, you'll get a link to book a call — and we'll decide together whether one-on-one mentorship is the right next step.
