Church Marketing & Communication Experts — Digital Growth for Church Leaders

Jay Owen, Founder

BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN THERE

Jay Owen is the CEO of Business Builders, a digital agency he's grown for nearly 30 consecutive years. He's also a StoryBrand Certified Guide, Business Made Simple Coach, author of Building a Business that Lasts, and host of the podcast by the same name.

But here's what makes him different: Jay served as Executive Director of Communication & Digital Discipleship at The Church of Eleven22 for four years before moving into a Chief of Ministry Staff role.

He knows what it's like to sit in staff meetings, juggle limited budgets, and try to reach more people with a skeleton crew.

He's married to Claire, has five kids, and built Ministry Builders because he's seen too many church teams burning out trying to do it all themselves. We're insiders who happen to have world-class marketing chops.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Our approach is built on a few core convictions.

Your Team Matters

We don't replace your people — we supercharge them. Every engagement is designed to make your existing team more effective.

Strategy Before Tactics

Posting more content isn't the answer. We start with clear strategy so every effort actually moves the needle.

AI Should Serve Ministry

Technology is a tool, not a replacement. We build AI that handles the tedious stuff so your team can focus on people.

Results Over Activity

We measure what matters — people reached, guests connected, growth achieved. Not just impressions and likes.
