Effectiveness

"We're now averaging 75-100 new visitors coming each week! We ran a series of three postcards in our community over the last year. 80% of our visitors specifically indicate that they came as a result of our media campaign. We were running about 400 before Christmas and now averaging over 520 in attendance (just before Easter)."

Jody Conley, Allen Baptist, Allen, KY

15,000 mailed (12/15/06)	15,000 mailed (3/29/07)	15,000 mailed (12/12/07)

"By the way, the mailings were VERY successful. We have seen hundreds of visiting families in the last six months and have added over 100 in average attendance!"

Pastor Wayne Murray, Grace Assembly of God

"I was simply put amazed by the results. One of our pastors started crying as he saw the people streaming into the high school auditorium on our opening day.... when 390 showed up, we were shocked. Five weeks later we are still averaging over 200 people in our worship service."

Pastor Hal Haller, Church of the Highlands

“Excellent response from the unchurched and our people were really proud of what we were doing. We normally worship about 430 and might expect about 630 on Easter and we had 800 plus. We plan on taking the same approach next Easter (and) I will be going to work soon on our next mailer (for Summer).”

Robin Butler, FBC Crosby

“Just wanted to let you know that things went really well in worship today. We had about six new guest households. The billboard was a great teaser. Our son’s' friends were asking them, "What's that mean?" (about the phrase, "the end of life as we know it"). We're known as the church with great postcards, but there was certainly a lot of anticipation around this issue. At any rate, the response rate is higher than ever. Thanks for everything!

JP Bohannon, Pastor Crosswalk Community Church

“Let me give a report of our latest breakthrough mailing and the follow-up at Fellowship. As you know we sent out 10,000 postcards for Christmas Eve. Though the attendance (at that service) was a little low (snow!!); the cards also encouraged people to come to a sermon series starting the first of the year. Those who came as visitors on the second and third weekends were given a free dinner for their entire family at a local barbecue restaurant. We had 193 visitors the first two weekends of 2005. 153 came to the dinner and last weekend, 28 people joined the church. We continue to have many visitors.”

Pastor Grant Edwards, Fellowship Christian Church

“The mail out we did last Christmas was fantastic! Our congregation significantly increased during the holidays. Your cards really did a good job in filling those seats.”

Joel Barros, Dominion-Chalmers United Church

"I would love to write a testimonial but I am too busy visiting people who have come to our church as a result of your mailing! We hit 210 people our first Sunday"

Pastor Fred Winslow, Good News UMC

"We retained 250 new members from our campaign and recouped our investment in just five weeks of new giving!"

Pastor Phil Spry, Southside Church

"Results? -- AMAZING! We had about 26 new families!" (and new families still coming)

Brian Rudesill, Hidden Valley Community Church

"We mailed to 15,000 homes (this past Christmas). The result was a 30% increase from 1,000 to 1,352 this year. We expanded our service schedule from 2 services to 4 services!" I have already recommended your company to four pastor friends."

Dr. Herb Buwalda, Senior Pastor

Pastor David Norman, Centerville UMC

Pastor David Freshour, Chevy Chase Baptist

Quality

"I'm convinced these campaigns are the finest outreach tools available to churches today. Their artistry and messages defy comparison ...there's nothing in the same category."

Pastor Jeff Adams, Kansas City Baptist

"I just wanted to thank you for the great cards you designed for our summer outreach. They were warm and inviting and so much so that we actually had another church call us to know who did those cards we had mailed! I was more than happy to give them your contact information. The most important aspect of the project was that there many new families that were in attendance because of the mailing you designed. Many of whom were attending no church at all before this event. I just wanted to thank you for a job well done in helping us reach out to our community, and I will definitely be using your company again in the future."

Pastor Rich Fogal, Christian Life Church

“Just wanted to pass on my thanks to you guys for providing a quality product on very short notice.”

Chuck Rustin, Grace Family ChurchService

Service

"I'm not quite sure how you could improve on your service. You guys seem to bend over backwards to get things done."

Pastor Jim Botts, The Crossing

“Thank you for your help in producing our first mailing card. The cards were sent out on time and we are very pleased with the final product. This Sunday is our special Guest Sunday, so we are praying that God will draw many as a result of sending the cards.Thanks for responding quickly to meet the postal deadlines. We greatly appreciate your effort to make our first mailing a success.”

Thomas Machowski, Sovereign Grace Church

Church Planting

"Our new church plant is now up to 120 members in just 3 months! The key element was mailing out two oversize postcards (from the Masterpiece Campaign) to the community.One new member, who had never gone to church before, said "When I got the card in the mail, it was like God was talking to me through it."

Pastor David Ford, New Town UMC

“Everything is going really smoothly with the mailout. I am really delighted with how easy you make it work, especially for me a church planter with limited human resources. Thanks.”

Roy Gerardi, CornerstoneGreat

Reports on Masterpiece...

We are getting some incredible reports from churches using Masterpiece. One church, in a metro area, after a modest run of the campaign targeted to a special Sunday, had 122 first-time families attend. Another recent church planting in a semi-rural area did a Phone Campaign (13,000 dial up) followed by the standard 5-piece direct mail series using Masterpiece. The formula would have normally yielded 130 families at best...but, they had 330 new families! The pastor attributed this to prayer and the quality of the campaign. Also, we attribute it to the good research we did into the felt needs of the unchurched and 'overchurched'...we listened closely. As a result, the campaign connects with their real needs and questions about becoming a part of a church.

In response to the Masterpiece Website offer...

“What an awesome addition this will be to our website. Thank you so much for continuing to offer top quality ministry tools”

Brian Clark, North Metro Church
