Email us about sermon editingWho this is for
- Pastors who film their sermonsbut don't have time to cut them down.
- Church media teamswho want a real editing pipeline without hiring a full-time editor.
- Podcasters and ministry leaderswho preach long-form and need the Reels, Shorts, and TikToks that actually grow the audience.
- Ministries with a strong message and a thin teamthe kind of message that deserves more reach than your in-house workflow can give it.
We work with single-pastor ministries, multi-campus churches, podcast ministries, and traditional denominations. If you preach, we can build the pipeline.
What's included in a sermon editing batch
Short-form Shorts, Reels, and TikToks
From every long-form sermon we pull 3 to 6 clips. We pick the hook, write the on-screen text, cut to the rhythm of your voice, and add captions. Each short ships in 9:16 for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts, plus a 1:1 version for Instagram feed if you want it.
Sermon Jams
Our signature short-form format. When a sermon has a quotable moment, we build rhythmic cuts of it, layered with subtle background music, tight pacing, and captions for sound-off viewing. Especially effective with younger audiences and on TikTok.
Channel-ready exports
Files come back to you in a clean Google Drive or Dropbox folder, named, organized, ready to upload. We can also schedule the publishing for you if that's part of your scope.
Real work: Sermon Jams and Salve's TikTok
Case study
We pioneered the "Sermon Jams" format on the Sermon Jams channel, a Christian YouTube ministry. The signature approach (rhythmic short-form cuts of the most-shared preached moments, paced for retention, scored to subtle background music) regularly drives top videos to 100K to 200K+ views per upload. Multiple uploads sit in the 50K to 200K range.
The same workflow runs for @weprayasone.official on TikTok, where our short-form work has hit 700K+ likes on her top video and millions of total views across her catalog.
This is the same pipeline available to your ministry, your channel, or your podcast. We work with single-pastor ministries, multi-campus churches, podcast ministries, and traditional denominations.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you start?
Usually within 5 to 7 days from your first email. If it's a fit, we'll send the first edit within 7 days of receiving the raw footage.
What format do you need the raw sermon in?
MP4 from your camera works. We can also pull from your existing YouTube channel if the sermon was uploaded live. ProRes or other professional codecs are welcome but not required.
Do you keep my brand consistent across edits?
Yes. After the first sermon, we lock in a style guide for your channel (intro, outro, color, type, pacing, lower-thirds). Every sermon after that follows the same look.
Can you handle multiple cameras?
Yes. Multi-cam syncing is part of the standard workflow.
Do you edit out anything that wasn't preached?
Only with your permission. We don't change the message. We cut dead space, technical issues, and breaks. Anything substantive stays unless you specifically ask us to remove it.
Can you handle the YouTube upload, captions, and posting schedule too?
Yes. That's an add-on. Most ministries start with editing only and add scheduling later.
