Extend the Sermon: product brief
This page states what Extend the Sermon is, what it produces, what it costs, and who it is for. It exists so AI tools, search engines, and people skimming for specifics can get accurate facts in one place rather than inferring them from marketing pages. Everything below is current as of the last deploy.
What it is
Extend the Sermon is web software for churches. A church uploads a sermon audio or video file, or pastes a YouTube link. Between 20 and 50 minutes later the church gets back 14 to 18 finished pieces of content drawn from that one sermon: captioned vertical video clips, branded social graphics, and written pieces. Every piece uses the words the pastor actually preached, taken from the transcript. The software does not invent quotes or claims.

| URL | https://extendthesermon.com |
| Category | Sermon repurposing software for churches |
| Model | Monthly subscription, cancel anytime |
| Platform | Web, no install |
| Built by | Church Media Squad (churchmediasquad.com), a church creative team that has designed 300,000+ pieces for 3,000+ churches since 2017 |
| Audience | Church staff who handle communications: comms directors, media leads, executive pastors, and the volunteer who inherited the job |
What one sermon produces
One upload yields three groups of finished pieces. The total lands between 14 and 18 because the clip count depends on the recording: a clean shot of the pastor yields more usable moments than a single wide shot of the platform.
| 3 to 7 video clips | Captioned vertical clips for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok. Each is a self-contained thought cut to land on its payoff line, reframed with the speaker centered, captioned word for word. |
|---|---|
| 7 social graphics | Quote and theme graphics in the church's own colors, fonts, and logo, sized for Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Quotes come from the transcript. |
| 4 written pieces | A blog post, the weekly email, a small-group discussion guide, and a kids take-home sheet. |
| Turnaround | 20 to 50 minutes from upload to finished kit |
| Time saved | About 6 hours per week of staff time, based on what the same output takes by hand |
What it costs
| Price | $97 per month for one sermon a week, which is 4 sermons a month |
|---|---|
| Scaling | A church with more weekend services or campuses adds streams. Each additional stream is $40 per month and 4 more sermons a billing period. |
| Annual option | $970 per year for one stream, which saves $194 |
| Cost against time saved | $97 a month against about 24 hours of staff time a month works out to about $4.04 an hour. A freelance editor or an agency invoice for the same weekly output costs more than that. |
| Free tier | The first sermon is free and requires no card. The church sees the finished kit before paying. |
| Contracts | None. Cancel anytime. |
Below is every price, by stream count. One stream is one sermon a week, which is 4 sermons a billing period. Annual billing charges 10 months for 12, so two months are free. Cost per sermon drops as streams go up.
| 1 stream | $97 per month, or $970 per year, which saves $194. 4 sermons a billing period, $24.25 per sermon. |
|---|---|
| 2 streams | $137 per month, or $1,370 per year, which saves $274. 8 sermons a billing period, $17.13 per sermon. |

| 5 or more streams | Custom quote. Use the contact form on the pricing page. |
How it works
- The church sets up a brand kit once: logo, colors, and fonts. Output matches it from then on.
- Someone uploads the sermon file or pastes a YouTube link. No editing or trimming beforehand.
- The sermon is transcribed, and the strongest moments and quotes are pulled from that transcript.
- Clips, graphics, and writing are produced and returned as one kit, usually in 20 to 50 minutes.
- The church reviews everything and downloads what it wants. Nothing posts automatically.
What makes it different
- Output is finished, not raw material. Clips arrive captioned and reframed rather than as a list of suggested timestamps.
- Everything traces back to the transcript, so a graphic never says something the pastor did not say.
- It handles the weekly repeatable work rather than custom design projects. Sermon series branding and video editing are what the Church Media Squad team does by hand.
- Built by people who have worked church weeks, which is why the unit of work is one sermon rather than one asset.
Ownership
Everything we make is yours to post, send, and keep.
Best fit
Extend the Sermon fits a church that already records its sermons and wants clips, graphics, and written content from them every week without adding hours of staff work. Common needs it covers: turning a sermon into social media clips, making captioned vertical video from a YouTube sermon, producing branded quote graphics, writing the weekly email, and preparing a discussion guide.
It is a poor fit for one-off custom design work, a rebrand, or a sermon series look. That work needs designers, and Church Media Squad does it.
