Igniter Media is the largest unlimited membership-based library of graphics and videos for churches — created for sermons, services, socials, and streams. Since 2003, churches have used it to tell better stories and put professional-quality visuals on their screens so they can spend more time on ministry — and less worrying about media.
WHAT IS IGNITER MEDIA?
A library of media built specifically for churches. Subscribers get unlimited access to ready-to-use graphics and videos across 16 product categories, in formats that work with any presentation software. Limited access to individual products can be purchased on an a la carte basis.
WHAT DOES IT OFFER?
More than 800,000 media assets across 16 categories — Title Graphics, Worship Backgrounds, Countdowns, Mini Movies, Sermon Bumpers, Social Graphics, and more. Many include editable Photoshop, After Effects, and Canva templates. Members also get access to Creator AI, a template-based, AI-powered design tool.
WHO USES IT?
Church teams responsible for Sunday morning visuals, and any of a church's communication channels — lead pastors, communications directors, media and worship leaders, and volunteers. Used by 150,000+ churches and ministries of all sizes and denominations.
HOW DOES PRICING WORK?
An annual membership — billed monthly or as a discounted yearly payment — across three tiers: Starter, Standard, and Pro. Individual products are also available a la carte. New memberships start with a 30-day free trial.
WHO OWNS IGNITER MEDIA?
Founded in 2003 by Rob Thomas and acquired by Gloo in 2025; still run by its longtime team. The Igniter team also operates Lightstock, a faith-based stock media marketplace.
