WHY VERTICAL VIDEO
Reach The Next Generation!
It’s well known that Gen Z is attending church less frequently. To connect with them, you need to meet them in their world—online. This generation consumes content primarily through their phones and gravitates toward quick, engaging videos. That makes short sermon highlights an ideal tool for meaningful connection.
Vertical Video allows you to take an assset you already have, your weekly sermon, and convert it into a shareable video that is perfect not only for the next generation, but for everyone who is online.
Schedule a FREE discovery call today and let’t talk about how we take your weekly sermons and create Vertical Videos for you without adding any more work to your plate.

How Many Videos Do I Get?
There are three different packages to choose from to fit your budgte and needs. You can choose three, five or seven videos per week, with the packages being billed monthly.
How Long Are The Videos?
Each video is between 30-60 seconds. This length has proven to be ideal for short form vertical video. The main idea is that you want to give you audience a “taste” of what you do so they take a next step and watch the full length version of your sermon or explore your website and come visit your church in person.
How Do I Get My Videos?
Each week we take your video from YouTube and create your Vertical Videos for you. Once they are done we upload them as YouTube Shorts for you, and then place them on Dropbox for you and your team to download and post to your social media platforms.
What Makes Reach Vertical Video Different?
We get that we aren’t the only company out there offering to turn your sermons into vertical videos. Our team is lead by Nick Swetnam who has spent over 20 years working directly in full time ministry and also the corporate marketplace. This unique pairing gives Reach Vertical Video the ability to not only know what works inside the church but also what works in the ever changing digital landscape.
In addition, Nick has brought his family along for the journey. With his wife Melinda handling customer support, his boys, Blake and Carter, editing videos, and his younger girls, Lizzy and Evie, as cheerleaders, you get a family who is dedicated to seeing your church make a bigger impact.
You and your church’s mission matter to us, and we want to see your ministry expand and reach more people. At Reach Vertical Video we are called to partner with churches to help them REACH more people for Jesus and expand their ministry beyond the walls of their church.
Can I Request Edits Of My Videos Or Pick My Own Clips?
In order to keep our price as affordable as possible we are not offering revisions of your Vertical Videos at this time. However, if there any obvious errors on our part (typos etc) please let us know and we will fix them ASAP.
In addition, our team carefully selects the best moments from your videos based on what has the potential to engage people online the best. This may or may not be the same as a powerful moment in the room from your sermon. If there is a particular moment you want to highlight please provide the time stamp and quote and our team will work on incorparting that into one of your Vertical Videos.
What Is The Turnaround Time?
10 – 14 days after your full length sermon is posted on your YouTube channel.
The vast majority of peope who are seeing your Vertical Videos online are not a part of your church currently (which is the whole point) and they could care less if the video was from a sermon you preached 2 days ago or 2 months ago. They care about if the content is relevant to them.
In order to provide you with the best possible finished product we can’t rush the process.

Do You Match My Church's Branding
Yes, as part of the onboarding process we will curate a custom look for your Vertical Videos. This will include your font, colors and if you want to include your logo or not.
We do not change the look of your videos for each sermon series. Remember the purpose of these videos is to grab the attention of someone who is NOT a part of your church currently and they won’t know what sermon you are in or not.
You Say "No Extra Burden" - But What Do We Have To Do?
When we say you don’t have to lift a finger, we mean you don’t have to lift a finger.
All you do is preach your sermon and load it to YouTube – that’s it! You DON’T even have to let us know you posted it to YouTube.
Then our team makes your vertical videos and hands them back to you to post whenever it makes sense on your social media channels.
PLUS, we post them to YouTube as Shorts for you, maing sure the videos link back to your full length sermon.
Why Post As YouTube Shorts, And What Does That Really Mean?
Your full length sermon should already be on YouTube – if its not you are missing our on the second larget search engine on the planet (and the first is Google who owns YouTube).
By taking your Verical Videos and posting them as Shorts on YouTube you are providing another avenue for people to see your full length sermon. Most churches focus on Instagram and Facebook and while those are great platforms, they are missing out on the advantages of YouTube.
The best part is that with Reach Vertical Video we post your finished Vertical Videos as Shorts to YouTube for you and link them back to your full length sermon, so you can take advantage of this incredible opportunity without having to do any more work.
Do You Post To Our Social Channels For Us?
Your Social Media calendar is a living breathing thing, and needs to be adjusted on a regualr basis based on the life of your church. Becuase of this we do not offer a service to post the Vertical Videos to your Social Media channels.
HOWEVER, we do post your vertical videos to you YouTube as Shorts for your church AND we link them back to your full length sermon.
Up To 7 Videos Seems Like A Lot - Why So Many?
Consistency is key when it comes to posting online and the the “louder” you can be without overwhelming your audience the better opportunity you have to reach more people.
This can be seen in brands outside of the Church world where personalities are posting upwards of 7-10 videos PER DAY. The reality is this can be overwhelming for a church staff.
In addition, you want to make sure that your social media is more about “giving” than it is about “asking.” What we mean is that if every post is about asking your audience to take action like siging up for an event they won’t see your church as giving them value. A Vertical Video gives value to the audience without asking them to do anything.
By having a consistent stream of Vertical Videos created for you it allows you to focus on creating other content for your social media pages.
Some churches will have us post all 7 videos as YouTube Shorts, but then only choose 3-4 of those videos to post to Instagram. This gives them consistency on YouTube but also then variety on Instagram, allowing them to leverage the benefits of each platform.
