"Our relationship with Apex Media has been excellent. They have always been very responsive to our questions and needs, and have hooked our ministry up in various markets that we were interested in. Their service has been great, and it is a pleasure to talk with their personnel."
Dianne Chester, Christ Apostolic Temple
"I have been fortunate enough to have a relationship with Apex Media for four plus years. If I could fit more of their business on my station, I would. Apex has a number of religious accounts on KNVA. The first 52-week contract we wrote has turned into a prosperous relationship for all involved." Allen Koch, National Sales Manager/KNVA-TV |

Our services for religious ministries |
 Apex has served religious ministries since our founding in 1993. We are Agency of Record for one of the largest (Dr. Charles Stanley's In Touch Ministries), and we work with scores of others of all sizes.
One key to our success is we will gladly cooperate with other ad agencies you may employ, to complement and extend the services they provide to you.
Whether you are large or small, we offer:
- Media buying at win-win rates
We buy television airtime of all types (broadcast, cable and satellite), in markets across America and overseas. Many timeslots are available only from us, because of our strong relationships with nearly a thousand broadcasters. And because we also buy for infomercials, we know what rates are fair for each market, so you won't pay more than necessary.
- Market research
Before we offer you a timeslot, we research it to determine its value for you. We study market statistics on audience size and lifestyles, lead-in and competing shows, and other data. Our goal is not a quick sale, but long-term satisfaction for both you and the broadcaster.
- Consulting and referrals
Our staff's decades of experience with ministries can help you avoid mistakes others have made. We will evaluate your show, offer creative suggestions, and alert you to trends in the business. And we can refer you to producers and other specialists you may need.
If you are a local church or small religious broadcaster, we can help you grow to whatever size meets your goals. For example, you may want to simply increase church attendance, or share your message around the world.
Here is one of our success stories:
The pastor of a local church wanted his congregation to grow and fully utilize the church building and services. To raise awareness of his church in the community, he launched a Sunday-morning TV program on a small Christian station. The program did bring visitors and new members to the church, but progress was slow.
Then the pastor hired a television producer allied with Apex Media. With the help of church staff, the producer developed a new show idea: a half-hour of topical discussion every weekday. Apex found airtime on a local commercial station, and the show began airing.
Within two months, church attendance exploded. The Sunday service at 11 AM was packed and overflowing to chairs in the aisles, and the 9 AM service grew by 30 percent. Currently, 6 to 10 new families visit each Sunday. Also, the daily TV show often attracts more viewers than the sitcoms and game shows on other stations.
After this local success, the church decided to use the tremendous power of television to spread their message further. Apex placed their show on a small national network reaching 15 million homes. Viewers across America began to order teaching and devotional materials via a toll-free number, and the pastor built a national following for his speaking engagements.
Currently, the church is preparing to expand again to a larger national network. And in the future, if they want to broadcast overseas (Europe, Asia, Africa, South America), Apex is ready to help.
