There is no budget for an editor
A freelance editor is $50 to $150 a sermon, which is a real line item for a church of fifty to five hundred people.
FOR SMALL CHURCHES
Big heart. Small media team.
No staff videographer, no editing budget, one camera at the back and a sermon that deserves better than a hundred views. Start with the recording you already have.
WHAT ARRIVES
Five reels from one recording.
Each one runs about 25 to 40 seconds, framed on the speaker, captioned word by word, with your church name and the scripture reference when it was spoken aloud.
Illustration of the review experience. Written for this page, not a recording of a church.
What usually gets in the way
The volunteer who films also runs sound
Asking the same person for clips is asking for the thing that will not happen.
Nothing goes out between Sundays
The channel gets one long upload a week, and the people who would watch thirty seconds never see it.
How the week actually runs
Four steps, and only the first one needs you at a keyboard.
- FIRST
Try one sermon free
One sermon, five reels, watermarked, no card. Look at the result before you decide anything.
- WEEKLY
One link a week
Submit the recording on Sunday night or Monday morning. Nothing else in your routine changes.
- WEEKLY
Ten minutes of review
Watch the five, fix a word if the transcript misheard it, approve and download.

Share where your people are
Post the files yourself, or let Publish schedule the approved reels to YouTube Shorts.
THE PLAN THAT USUALLY FITS
Reels
Five sermons a month is more than a weekly church needs, and $19 is less than an hour of a freelance editor. There is nothing to customise, which is why it can be that price.
Start with one free sermon
One recording, five reels, watermarked, no card. It is the honest way to find out whether this works on your footage.
QUESTIONS FROM SMALL CHURCHES
Worth asking
before you start.
Anything else, the support page covers more.
Our recording is from a phone at the back. Will that work?+
Often yes, if the speech is clear and the speaker is visible. Unclear audio is the thing that hurts the result most, more than resolution.
What does the free sermon cost us?+
Nothing, and no card is needed. The five reels carry a small watermark so you can see exactly what you would get.
Can we stop any month?+
Yes. Cancel from billing settings and the plan runs to the end of the period you paid for.
