Our Core Values

Service

Commitment, Honesty, Reliability, Love

Ministry is an act of service. As ministers at Parable Media, we strive to always have a “servant’s heart” with each other and those we minister to.

Passion

Joy, Enthusiasm, Motivation

We are passionate about the calling God has placed on our lives. We know we are working for God’s Kingdom, and we do so with passion.

Excellence

Creativity, Education, Efficiency, Innovation

Ministry should be done in excellence. We always give our best in everything we do as an offering to God.

Our Impact

A single video has the potential to reach and inspire thousands of people. One website can serve as an invitation to engage an entire community. One photo can help to share your stories in ways words fall short. Not only does Parable Media support other ministries directly through the creation of content, but we are also able to help ministries operate more effectively by taking these projects off the plate of ministers and staff members who are already busy with the day to day duties required by their ministries.

In 2023, Parable Media helped to support and enhance the ministries of churches, denominational organizations, nonprofit ministries, divinity schools, and individual ministers both inside and outside of North Carolina.

About Us

Parable Media is a non-profit digital media ministry providing services for churches, Christian non-profits, and individuals in ministry. We are based out of Raleigh, North Carolina, but we are committed to serve people and ministries across the world. Founded, managed, and operated by ministers, we are uniquely positioned to understand the needs and demands of ministry, inside and outside of the church.

Parable Media separates itself from other digital media companies by offering a blend of technical skills and ministerial understanding that isn’t commonly available to churches, nonprofits, and individuals in ministry. The services we offer include custom video, website design, logo and graphic design, and photography. All services offered are professional in quality while fitting the unique context of Christian ministry. Our services are all designed to be affordable for ALL churches and Christian non-profit organizations regardless of budget.

Parable Media’s main goal is to help build God’s Kingdom by serving other ministries—helping those ministries to share their stories in order to inspire action and create community. You can support Parable Media through financial gifts through our donate page.

Our Story

Parable Media was founded upon an idea and a mission—to serve churches and Christian organizations of all shapes and sizes with a variety of professional digital media services—all to help them more effectively share their stories, and through their stories help to build the kingdom of God. For us at Parable Media this meant serving all churches and Christian organizations, but especially those who may not have the funding or budget to normally support this kind of ministry. There was no readily available blueprint to follow for this type of ministry (especially before Covid-19 hit), so with much prayer and support from our community, we stepped out in faith to create a new ministry.

Parable Media was founded by Jonathan Boggs in the summer of 2018 as a single member LLC. For the first 9 months of its existence, Parable Media was operated as a side gig as Jonathan worked in full-time media ministry at a church in Raleigh, NC. This changed in March of 2019 as Jonathan transitioned from full-time work in a church to work full-time through Parable Media—to serve many different churches and Christian organizations.

Throughout this first year, it became evident that in order for Parable Media to grow beyond Jonathan simply working as a contract worker for various projects, there needed to be a way to generate more income to support the growing ministry. However, this growth could not come at the expense of the churches Parable Media served, so an increase in prices was off the table. After discussion with many of the ministers connected to the churches Parable Media was serving, the decision was made to convert Parable Media from a single member LLC to a nonprofit organization in order to raise funding in addition to the income that already came from projects. This would allow Parable Media to grow past the person of Jonathan to truly become a ministry with the capacity to serve many different churches and Christian organizations.

All of this transition was happening around the same time Covid-19 hit, a difficult time in which many new businesses and organizations were going out of business before ever having a chance to establish themselves. God was good to the ministry of Parable Media, and the ministry continued to grow throughout 2020 and 2021, when it was formally approved by the IRS as a 501c3 nonprofit organization.

Throughout our short history, we at Parable Media strive to follow God’s call to support the kingdom of God here on earth through the many stories we are able to share of the churches and Christian organizations who are doing amazing things for God’s kingdom. We are excited to see this ministry continue to grow and become what God is shaping it to be.
