Finding fresh, high-quality media for Sunday services is one of those weekly burdens that church communicators and creatives know all too well. Igniter Media has been easing that burden since 2003, offering a massive library of ready-made church media — from sermon title graphics and worship backgrounds to mini movies, countdowns, social media posts, and stock music.^1
With over 300,000 creative assets from 30+ hand-picked producers and 1,700+ individual contributors, Igniter stands out by curating content that avoids the generic, cheesy look churches often dread. New media is uploaded almost daily, and every piece goes through human curation before it hits the library.^1 Memberships include access to their AI-powered Creator AI tool, which lets you generate custom graphics from templates using natural language prompts — turning a sermon idea into a finished graphic in minutes. Church media users have already created over 26,000 projects with the tool.^2
Igniter was founded by Rob Thomas with a conviction that the church needed creative, original media to tell the story of Jesus with beauty and clarity.^3 In September 2025, Igniter was acquired by Gloo, a technology platform serving the faith ecosystem, combining Gloo's digital infrastructure with Igniter's media library to further equip churches with AI-driven ministry tools.^4 The team, now led by president Ross Moshell, continues operating from Richardson, Texas.
