Local church growth

powered by the Google Ad Grant.

A digital outreach strategy to leverage the free $10,000/month to get more people in your church.

Your community is searching for hope.
Google will give you $10,000 to reach them every month.

Churches are shrinking while depression, drug abuse, divorce, suicide are all on the rise. 

People have questions, the church should be the answer. 

Reach The Lost uses the FREE $10,000/month Google Ad Grant to create Pathways that connect local people from Google searches to your church and the hope of Jesus.

About the grant

Is the Google Ad Grant legit?

Yes! Google will give any registered nonprofit $10,000/month in free ad credits. You don’t need to spend real dollars, and you can use it to target popular searches in your area and beyond.

Why on earth would Google do this? It’s a tax write off, PR strategy, and bidding strategy for them.

The Google Ad Grant is a genuinely free opportunity available to any registered 501(c)3. Our churches spend over $9,000 of the Grant every month on average, connecting with thousands of new, local people.

 

how we use the grant

We build online pathways to get people from Google to your church.

We use your $10,000/month to create online journeys that bring people from the Google search page to your church. Our pathways are intended to identify people’s major search topics in your area, answer their questions, and invite them to your services, ministries, and events.

how we grow churches

A year from now, how will your church have grown?

Your $10,000/month grant can let you find an entirely new audience in your local area. 

Churches Near Me

Hundreds of people are searching “church near me” in your area. The Google Ad Grant allows your church to appear as a sponsored result in the top 3 positions, bringing new visitors to your church.

Reaching Major Questions

People have questions, and the Church has answers. Our Pathways give you customizeable landing pages that target popular searches, answer their questions, and invite them to your church or ministries.

Ministries

People are looking for the ministries of your church. The Google Ad Grant can allow your church to appear 1st on the results page for searches like “MOPs Group” “DivorceCare” or “marriage support”. 

Large Events

Families are always looking for events in their area. You can use the Google Ad Grant to drive more people to your Easter Egg event, Fall Festival, Christmas Eve Services, and more.
