Meno helps creatives, pastors and church planters build high-impact teams, clearer systems and creative work that outlives next Sunday. We help you do the work that actually matters. We don’t grind, we build.
Most church creatives are stretched thin. They’re handed a lot of responsibility with little training, then expected to turn out something new every week without much support. Usually the issue isn’t talent or heart — it’s that no one showed them how to build the systems and foundation underneath the work. That’s where we start, before worrying about the next post, campaign, or series.
Most creatives don’t notice they’ve slipped into performing until they’re exhausted. We help you name it first, then rebuild the posture underneath — stewardship instead of performance — so the shift actually holds.
Most churches don’t see the disorder until a launch falls apart. We help you find where the real work is missing, then put the planning and setup in place before anything goes live.
Most teams don’t notice they’re running on someone else’s timeline until they’re burned out. We help you see the pace that’s actually driving you, then reset it around something slower and sustainable.
Most teams don’t fail from a lack of vision. They fail because they build the visible parts first and hope the foundation catches up later — it rarely does. We build in the opposite order on purpose. Every engagement follows the same three steps, in this sequence, every single time — not because it’s tradition, but because it’s the only order that actually holds up.
We dig down to the foundation first, your calling, your real capacity, what’s actually true right now.
We design the systems, team and rhythms strong enough to hold the weight of what you’re carrying.
We build it together, then hand you the tools to keep building long after our work is done. You own it. You keep it.
Whether you’re a creative director finding your footing or a pastor trying to build a team that lasts, we’re here to help.
A single 60-minute call for a specific decision you need outside eyes on before you commit. No ongoing relationship required, just clarity, once, when you need it.
A 3-6 month coaching relationship built for real change, not a quick fix. Weekly calls, honest feedback on real decisions, and someone in your corner for the whole season.
A small room of church creatives building together, season by season. Sharpen your craft alongside people who get it.
Two days on-site with your team. We find the cracks, name what’s true, and lay new foundation for your creative ministry.
Coaching builds your team. The Studio is for when you need ours. Meno Studio is a done-for-you creative subscription — graphic design, print & web, delivered like staff you didn’t have to hire.

Every week I send tools, thoughts, and truths for church creatives. Not another voice telling you to do more — just help doing what matters.
“Jakob has helped us upgrade not just our communications, but the way we think about systems, leadership and culture on our creative team. He’s brought clarity to how we onboard volunteers, improved our Sunday experience, and helped us streamline our processes across multiple departments.
What sets Jakob apart is that he truly understands the local church. He knows the tensions creatives face in ministry and the heart behind why we do what we do. He’s incredibly sharp, humble and servant-hearted, and he went above and beyond to help us move forward as a team.”
“There are very few people I’d trust with the creative design and direction of our church, and Meno Creative is truly the best of the best. They understand excellence, systems, and most importantly, the local church. Everyone started thanking me when I stopped making my own graphics, and people could always tell when I used AI. But since we started working with Meno Creative, we started receiving so many compliments on how beautiful and cohesive our design has become. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“We worked with Jake for the first two years of our church plant in the heart of Seattle. He consulted us on everything from social media to graphic design to building teams to creative direction and more. As a result of working with Jake we continue to see so many people walk through our doors because of our digital creative presence, but the thing that impacted us the most was how much Jake actually cared about the local church and the well being of our team. He helped us build a foundation that will serve our mission for years to come and the tangible fruit we’ve witnessed in our ministry plus the relationships we built along the way is truly priceless.”
I’m a coach, consultant, and creative director with over a decade inside the local church — staff roles, volunteer roles, and helping plant one of the largest churches in the Portland metro area. I see things others don’t, and I’ll say things others won’t. I’m not here to hand you more to do. I’m here to help you build with clarity, remain rooted, and create something that lasts.
Tell me where your church or team is headed. If there’s a fit, we’ll build the path to get there.
