Grayhaven Studio films church story videos in Jacksonville, Florida. A story video is a filmed and edited 2 to 3 minute story of a changed life, ready for Sunday and cut down for social. Story videos start at $1,200.
Filming is included for Jacksonville-area churches, so the price covers the whole thing: planning, filming at your church, editing, and the social cut-downs.
Why story videos work
An announcement tells people what's happening. A story shows them why it matters. When your church hears how a neighbor came to faith, found a community, or got baptized, they remember it. And they're far more likely to share it with a friend.
Story videos work well for:
- Baptism Sundays, so the whole church hears each story.
- Giving season, to show what generosity makes possible.
- Easter and Christmas, as an invitation your people can send.
- Ministry recruiting, so volunteers can see the difference they'd make.
How it works
- Find the story. We talk with your pastor about who to feature and what the video is for.
- Plan the interview. I help the person get comfortable, so they don't need to be a natural on camera.
- Film. I film the interview and a few scenes, usually at your church.
- Edit. You get a 2 to 3 minute video for Sunday, plus short cut-downs for Instagram and Facebook. Two rounds of changes are included.

In person around Jacksonville
Sunday visits and filming are included for Jacksonville-area churches. I work with churches across Jacksonville and nearby, including the Beaches, Mandarin, Arlington, the Southside, Riverside, San Marco, Springfield, the Northside and Westside, Orange Park, Fleming Island, St. Johns, Ponte Vedra, and Fernandina Beach.
I can still help. Filming trips outside the Jacksonville area are billed at cost, and editing works the same anywhere.

Common questions
How much does a church video cost in Jacksonville?
A story video from Grayhaven Studio starts at $1,200, including filming for Jacksonville-area churches. Partner packages include a filmed story every other month, and Director includes one every month.
What is a church story video?
A church story video is a short film of one person's story: how they came to faith, found community, or were helped by your church. It runs about 2 to 3 minutes for Sunday, with shorter cut-downs for social media.
What if the person isn't comfortable on camera?
Most people aren't at first. I plan the interview with them ahead of time and keep it conversational, so they can just tell their story.
Can we use the video on social media?
Yes. Every story video comes with short cut-downs sized for Instagram and Facebook, and your church owns the finished video.
Do you film outside Jacksonville?
Yes. Filming is included in the Jacksonville area. Filming trips elsewhere are billed at cost.
