What Churchstreaming.tv does

Churchstreaming.tv is a subscription-based, cloud-hosted live streaming platform purpose-built for churches, operating as a product line within the church-technology conglomerate Ministry Brands Holdings, LLC. Its core offering is a single end-to-end streaming service that lets a church broadcast to multiple destinations — including Facebook, YouTube, Apple TV, custom websites/apps, and arbitrary RTMP endpoints — from a single encoder session, with adaptive bitrate delivery over a scalable Content Delivery Network (CDN) that the company states can support congregations from 10 to 100,000 concurrent viewers.

The product is differentiated from generic video platforms by a ministry-specific feature set: customizable viewer layouts with embedded navigation links, sermon notes and Bible passages, moderated prayer requests, real-time chat without external advertising, post-live trimming with automated archive posting, pre/post-roll, and built-in DVR. Underlying technology includes real-time transcoding to optimize video quality and free up upload bandwidth, adaptive bitrate streaming to maintain a seamless experience across connection types, and a CDN architecture that scales dynamically with audience size.

Commercially, Churchstreaming.tv runs a product-led growth (PLG) self-serve motion: customers sign up directly through the website, start with a free 30-day trial, and are billed monthly through the parent company's Amplify platform (Chargebee-powered). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is amplified by the Ministry Brands ecosystem — including cross-promotion across the parent's portfolio of church software and recurring demand-generation through the annual Healthy Church Summit event — targeting a fragmented long tail of church customers ranging from small church plants to large worldwide ministries. The company is privately held, has 1-10 employees, is based in Lenoir City, Tennessee, and has no standalone funding history of its own.
