Additional revision rounds: $250 per revision round.
Your designs are a separate investment.
Purchasing a Ministry of Merch Store does not include original merchandise design. Your approved designs are created through the Merch Design Lab before store development begins.
One design. Many products.
One approved Ministry graphic may appear on a sweatshirt, track jacket, T shirt, and another approved product. The Lab includes up to 5 original designs and up to 10 product applications.

After launch
What happens after launch?
Your merchandise store does not have to stay frozen at launch.
Churches with ongoing creative needs can become Ministry of Merch Creative Partners.
Creative Partners can continue developing new merchandise throughout the year for conferences, anniversaries, ministries, seasons, leadership initiatives, and special events.
Ongoing new design work is reserved for Creative Partners.
Ministry of Merch does not offer one off post launch design packages. A monthly partnership allows the studio to continuously understand your church's brand rather than repeatedly opening and closing individual design projects.
Ongoing
Creative partnerships.
Monthly partnerships for churches requiring continuous merchandise development, collection updates, store support, event merchandise, and seasonal launches. Monthly deliverables are defined before the partnership begins.
Monthly partnership

- Ongoing merchandise design

- Store product updates
- Seasonal merchandise planning
- Conference merchandise
