Our Story

In 2019, RTL started with a simple question…what if we could help people searching for hope online connect with a local church?

One morning, over breakfast, our founders, Mike and Chris, talked about the volume of online searches happening in Colorado Springs from hurting people. The stats showed people searching for answers to topics such as divorce, alcohol addiction, depression, and so on. But instead of being met with the hope of Jesus at the top of the search results, they were getting Psychology Today and Forbes articles.

That conversation sparked a desire to change things. In 2021, they invited Ryan Clark to join as CEO and help bring the vision to life.

Our Vision & Mission

Since then the RTL team has grown and so has the impact. Our vision is to blanket the US with the hope of Jesus through a digital representation of the local church.

We’re on a mission to help churches win searches on Google through maximizing Google Grant, enhancing SEO, and leveraging Google Paid Ads.

Join Us

Every search is an opportunity for someone to find hope. If you’re a church looking to extend your online reach we’d love for you to join us!
