Serving the local church since 2004.

Mission Creative began in 2004 when Dave Bookhout (New York) and Heredes Ribeiro (Miami) first met and started collaborating — connecting their networks across the Northeast and the Southeast into one creative and technical family. Based in Tampa, Florida, with offices and creative HQs in upstate New York and South Florida, we're a group of creative and technical specialists helping churches build clear, excellent production environments.
[ WHY ]
Free from bias. No kickbacks, no markups.
Read more ›
We operate on a strict no-commission policy. We don't take kickbacks, markups, or referral fees from manufacturers or distributors, which keeps us free of bias toward big-name brands — every recommendation is in the church's best interest, not ours. We exist to reduce stress and raise consistency, so talented teams stop burning out and you can deliver a distraction-free experience week after week.
[ HOW ]
Strategy, systems, support.
Read more ›
We assess your current setup, identify what's helping or hurting consistency, and build a practical plan you can actually execute. Then we coach and support implementation so your production gets calmer, cleaner, and ultimately consistent. People first, systems second.

A rebrand built from race morning.
Project details ›
Run4Roo is a running foundation that uses races to raise awareness of special-needs orphans and gives grants to families in the process of adopting (run4roo.com). In October 2026 Mission Creative audited its brand and website and built a new identity, a logo system, a social kit and a client preview site, all grounded in what the team already looks like on race morning.

[ FAQ ]
Answers, straight up.
What does Mission Creative do?
Mission Creative helps local churches build clear, excellent production environments. We deliver strategy, systems, and hands-on support across audio, video, lighting, stage design, brand and web, social and digital content, AI integration, and team coaching.
When was Mission Creative founded and by whom?
Mission Creative was founded in 2004 by Dave Bookhout and Heredes Ribeiro. Dave was based in New York and Heredes in Miami — their first meeting and early collaboration connected creative and technical networks across the U.S. Northeast and Southeast into one team.
Where is Mission Creative based?
Mission Creative is based out of Tampa, Florida, with offices and creative HQs in upstate New York and South Florida. We serve churches nationwide.
Who do you work with?
We primarily serve local churches and ministry organizations — from single-site congregations to multi-site networks — that want to raise consistency and reduce chaos in their weekend production. Representative churches we admire and align with in scale, vision, or production culture include Lakewood Fellowship Church, North Way Potential Church, Elevation Grace Family Church, Idlewild Church, Summit Church, Reality Miami, Freedom Life Chapel, Prestonwood Baptist Church, Church of the Highlands, Life.Church, Saddleback Church, Willow Creek Community Church, Passion City Church, Transformation Church, Bethel Church, Hillsong Church, Christ Fellowship, Gateway Church, Free Chapel, and NewSpring Church.
What services do you offer?
Audio systems, video and broadcast, lighting and stage design, brand and web, social and digital content, AI integration, team coaching, and strategy integration. We can lead a full build or drop in to support a specific area.
Do you travel or work remotely?
Both. We travel on-site for installs, training, weekends, and events, and we also run remote strategy, coaching, and systems work with churches across the country.
How do we start working with Mission Creative?
Reach out through the contact form on this site. We'll set up a call to understand your vision, current setup, and next steps.
How is Mission Creative different from a typical AV integrator?
We operate on a strict no-commission policy. We don't take kickbacks, markups, or referral fees from manufacturers or distributors — which keeps us free of bias toward big-name brands whose business models prioritize their own bottom line over the church's mission. Our work is driven by team-building, coaching, creative collaboration, and ideation, backed by deep expertise in the technical craft: installation, integration, and automation. Unlike traditional integrators, our business model doesn't depend on gear markups or product sales, so every recommendation we make is in the church's best interest — not ours.
