My Work
If You...
- Are struggling to improve your videos
- Can't afford expensive video equipment
- Are frustrated that learning about lighting, audio, and editing takes too much time
...then Better Church Video was made for you.
Better Church Video was created for you.
I’m Jake, and I’ve been making videos for over 10 years. After graduating with a degree in Church Media Production from Liberty University in 2023, I now work full-time as a video producer at a church and help other churches create engaging videos.
Years ago, I was feeling all the frustrations you might be feeling now, wishing the videos I was making were better, wishing I had better equipment, and didn’t even know where to go to improve my video skills.
Today, after gaining real-world experience through freelance videography & time spent as a church staff member, I’ve developed the solution I wish I had then. So now you can skip the headaches and jump right to great videos in hours, not years.
