The weekly church email newsletter written from Sunday's sermon
Extend the Sermon turns Sunday's sermon into a weekly email, complete with a subject line, preview text and one call to action written as a sentence. It's signed with your pastor's first name, with room for up to three short P.S. lines for announcements. Edit it in place, then copy it straight into your church's email tool.
Everything we make is yours to post, send, and keep.
Open your sent folder and find last week's email to the church. Most weeks it's thin, pieced together in the twenty minutes before it had to go out. Some weeks it never went out at all, and nobody said a word about it.
Your pastor spent most of a week on Sunday's message. By Monday afternoon the one line worth building an email around is buried in a recording you already heard live. You heard it at every service your church ran that weekend. Getting it back means scrubbing through the whole thing on a day that's already full, so the email stays thin. The people who were there keep whatever they happened to remember. The people who missed Sunday get nothing.
That Monday is the one this was built for. Extend the Sermon comes from Church Media Squad, more than 3,000 churches since 2017. Upload the file, or paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, and the email comes back drafted from that sermon's transcript.
What the weekly church email includes
Every email arrives with a subject line and preview text, both editable right on the page. The body runs 300 to 500 words, built around the one thing the sermon asked people to carry into the week, and it closes with one call to action written as a sentence.
It's signed with your pastor's first name. Up to three short P.S. lines carry whatever else needs a mention, so the announcements don't have to fight the message for room.
How the sermon recap email gets written
The email follows the voice settings your church has set: tone, audience, denomination and any custom instructions you've added.
Scripture comes from the passages your pastor preached that morning. The verses get pulled from the sermon first and the writing works from that list, so you're not checking references that were never in the message.
Editing and sending the email
Every line is editable on the page, subject line included. Once it reads the way you want it, the whole email copies as rich text into your church's email tool.
You can also share it as a read-only link, or download the blog post, the email, the discussion guide and the kids sheet as files in one zip. Paste it, send it Monday, and the message your pastor worked on all week reaches the people who weren't in the room.
What one upload returns
One upload returns more than 20 finished pieces. Alongside the email you get 5 to 7 captioned vertical clips, 9 social graphics, an Instagram carousel, social posts for Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, a blog post, a discussion guide and a kids sheet.
It's all back usually inside an hour, drafted from the same transcript.
Try it on Sunday's sermon
The first sermon is free and there's no card. Pick a message your pastor already preached and knows by heart. Because you sat through that one, you'll know within a paragraph whether the email sounds like your pastor. After that it's $97 a month for one sermon a week, and the weekly email comes with it.
Get your free sermon and read the email it writes back from this week's message. The subject line and preview text are written, and your pastor's name is already at the bottom. All that's left is deciding what you'd say differently, then pasting it in while Sunday is still fresh.
