How churches can embrace innovation without compromising the Gospel
Apex Media Partners helps ministries expand their reach across emerging platforms, keeping the Gospel at the center of every strategy
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Across the country, churches and ministries are adopting new technologies to reach audiences whose habits have changed dramatically over the past decade. While communication methods continue to evolve, ministry leaders increasingly recognize that the Church’s mission remains constant.
Subsplash writer Lyndsi Bigbee’s recent article, “The 6 shifts of the modern church,” identifies major transitions to mobile, media, digital giving, messaging, livestreaming and artificial intelligence.
Apex Media Partners, a leading full-service media and marketing firm, helps ministries navigate those changes through its ministry solutions. The company develops customized media strategies that help organizations reach audiences wherever they consume content while remaining faithful to their ministry purpose.
Apex Media Partners works backward from each client’s mission, identifying the right mix of platforms, reach and frequency. The company encourages ministries to think beyond traditional broadcasting because audiences increasingly engage through streaming audio, video and other digital channels.
“Throughout history, the Church has adapted its methods of communication while remaining steadfast in the unchanging message of the Gospel. Today’s media landscape offers unprecedented opportunities to reach people who may never walk through a church’s front doors. Ministries that thoughtfully embrace these technologies can expand their reach, deepen their impact, and fulfill their mission without compromising their message,” said Van Mylar, vice president of client strategy and revenue growth.
“At Apex, we don’t begin with platforms — we begin with purpose,” said Apex Media Partners CEO Carrie Hartunian. “Every ministry has a unique calling and a specific audience it’s trying to reach. Our role is to develop media strategies that connect those audiences with the Gospel in the places they’re already spending their time. Technology will continue to evolve, but a thoughtful, audience-first strategy will always be the foundation of meaningful ministry impact.”
For decades, Apex Media Partners has partnered with ministries as communications technology has evolved. The company helps Christian communicators understand that today’s “radio ministry” may include Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM and other streaming platforms while also embracing emerging opportunities across the omnichannel landscape.
