We believe that God has called us to use state-of-the-art marketing practices to get more people through more church doors, and we’re driven to meet His calling.SermonView has grown to handle hundreds of evangelism marketing campaigns every year. Since 2008, we have worked with 2,500 churches on 6,000 campaigns, reaching over 30 million homes and 8 million social media users.
