Many churches struggle to connect with the spiritually curious people right in their own neighborhoods. VisitorReach is a conversational outreach platform built by pastors to solve that gap — putting churches in front of local seekers and turning digital interest into real, in-person relationships.^1
The platform works in layers. First, VisitorReach optimizes a church's presence across 70+ online directories, search engines, voice search, and social media so people can actually find them.^2 Then, a team of marketing experts creates personalized ad campaigns targeting newcomers, people in need of prayer, and those exploring faith. Every interaction funnels into the VisitorReach mobile app, where pastors and staff engage seekers through one-on-one SMS conversations — assisted by AI-suggested responses, QuickReplies, and automated NurturePoint Journeys™ that keep conversations going at just the right moments.^3
Their newest product, VisitorTap™, lets Sunday guests connect instantly with a simple phone tap — filling out guest cards, accessing giving, or registering for events, all managed through a real-time dashboard.^2
What sets VisitorReach apart is its DNA. CEO Marc Estes spent nearly 40 years in local church ministry, including serving as Senior Pastor of Mannahouse in Portland. Co-founder Howard Rachinski is the founder of CCLI (Christian Copyright Licensing International), which resolved a legal crisis for over 250,000 churches worldwide. Together with three other co-founders, they built VisitorReach from deep pastoral experience — not just tech expertise.^4
Why Churches Love It"Last year our church doubled in size with VisitorReach. What was more amazing is that we tripled in salvations, and quadrupled in water baptisms!" — Dreamer's Church^1
"We had 24 first time guests last weekend! In the past the most we've ever seen was 10 on Easter Sunday. I have not seen a tool as surgical in reaching people for the Kingdom as VisitorReach." — Pastor Larry Roberts, Christian Family Center^1
"So thankful for the whole team at Visitor Reach that has helped us reach hundreds of people that were unsaved. Not only did they start a relationship with Jesus, but they are also plugged into a life-giving church that is discipling them." — App Store review^3
