Problem
Restoration Church in Southlake, Texas has always been a community full of stories worth telling. Their leadership wanted to build a stronger media presence online, with video that reflected the life of the church and the faithfulness of God in their people. Their heart was to strengthen the genuine faith of their congregation by sharing stories from within it. They needed a partner who could help shape that vision and bring it to life on camera.
Solution
Mallard Agency, a Dallas branding and video production agency, partnered with Restoration Church on a storytelling strategy built around the people in their pews. We invited dozens of congregants to share stories from their walk with the Lord and produced a series of reels called Restored Stories. We also created three mini documentaries, each following a member of the church through a season of trial, to be shown during Sunday services as testimonies of God's faithfulness. In our in house studio, we filmed episodes of The 4:12 Podcast, bringing a long running audio show to video for the first time.
Result
Restoration Church now has more video content than ever before, rooted in the real stories of their church family. The Restored Stories reels became the highest performing content in the church's history, reaching people with testimonies of faith from the congregation itself. Sunday services now carry a new way of celebrating what God is doing in the lives of their people.
