Your context, our team

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions.

The Firm Foundations Marketing team has worked with church planters, in revitalization contexts, and partnered with megachurches all around the country to help their church become relevant and mission-driven in their community. In 2023 alone, we worked with churches across 20 different states.

What church leaders are saying

Listen to what Pastor Doug has to say

“The clarity and alignment your expertise brought to our church community are genius. Your coaching and insights have not only resonated with our congregation but have also confirmed that we’re on the right path. Your heart and experience are invaluable to us.”

Pastor Doug Bartsch, HISplace Family Church

Your expertise and how you guided us have been outstanding! I definitely wouldn’t have St. Luke where it is today without you. The on-site, for example, made a huge impact. I loved that it was in-person and interactive, and you both guided us through that process.

I knew there is no way I could have accomplished all this myself or in this time period, let alone I would have made a ton of mistakes along the way.

Tim Craley

Church Council President, St. Luke Lutheran Church

Our website has been instrumental in our growth…we are seating 100 every Sunday. Our seating capacity is somewhere around 155, so the room is very full. It is super exciting to see the church doing so well, and you guys deserve a lot of the credit.

Josh Hampton

Pastor, Summit Church

Last year we found ourselves struggling to connect with our community, so we reached out to Firm Foundations to identify our ideal audiences and develop a strategy for reaching them.
Our work with Firm Foundations led us to the realization that our church’s name and branding was a stumbling block. This year Firm Foundations helped us choose a new name and develop a strong new brand. The new brand suits our congregation and will be a major strategic improvement for connecting with our ideal audiences. We are excited to roll out this new branding and name in the coming days. I would gladly work with Tyler and Tammy again in the future and will continue to recommend them to ministry friends.

Daniel Edwards

Pastor, Formation Church

We moved to two services. . . .finalized the purchase of our property (church building, 2 homes, 16+ acres) in May. We are currently averaging 160 on Sundays (up from 120 last fall)… All thanks to our website, of course! Current membership is 145 with ~220 regular attenders (counting kids).

John Healy

Pastor, Crozet Fellowship Church

They really took the time to get to know our church, understand our needs, and present very practical next steps.

David Bass

Executive Pastor, Carmel Baptist Church

The booklet developed for our community is a treasure trove of actionable information we can begin applying immediately. We know our community better so we can serve our community better.

Jesse Lofton

Lead Pastor, Carpenter's Way

The clarity and alignment your expertise brought to our church community are genius. Your coaching and insights have not only resonated with our congregation but have also confirmed that we’re on the right path. Your heart and experience are invaluable to us.”
Doug Bartsch

Lead Pastor, HISplace Family Church

We’re getting such a strong response to so many things. I haven’t heard “We didn’t know about that!” in a long time. It’s been fantastic! I’ve loved working with you guys!

Amy Chin

Communications Director, Carmel Baptist Church

They discovered our mission and our passions. With such care and professionalism, they provided an overall marketing strategy to help us reach the people God have called us to reach. They “got” us! This was one of the best investments our church has made. ELMI has been branded and the church body is excited to resolve our identified obstacles and move  our ministry forward.

Angela Williams

Pastor, Empowered Love Ministries International

THANK YOU Tammy and Tyler for serving our church well by the excellent and thorough report!
Paul Spilker

Lead Executive Pastor, College Park Church

For the one [elder] I’ve spoken with, it was incredibly enlightening. [The Community Research Guide] confirmed what I suspected…This will help us make better decisions about putting systems and structures in place for the future.

Steve Schmidt

Pastor, South Park Christian Chapel

For the last year this amazing duo has been helping up my marketing skills for FBC Alexandria! Thanks for being my personal cheerleaders and encouraging big growth from all of us! We’ve also had many new families joining us on Sundays over the past 8 weeks.

Erin Rexroth

Communications Director, First Baptist Church of Alexandria

The biggest thing for us has just been getting the messaging taken care of because that makes everything else easy to plan around.
