Meet the Founder: A Vocation of Service to the Church.
I’m Thomas Kelly, a lifelong Lutheran, multimedia producer, and the founder of Phoenix Anthem, LLC. My journey is rooted in a desire to provide Christ-centered results through mission-driven design. After earning degrees in Broadcast Journalism and History, and experiencing the collapse of a previous business during the pandemic, God opened a new door of service at my home congregation, Trinity Lutheran Church, School, and Childcare in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
A New Mission is Born
Rather than walk away from the work I loved, I pivoted. In early 2021, I began volunteering at my home congregation, Trinity Lutheran Church, School, and Childcare in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. There I am an active member, serve on the Board of Christian Day School, and help lead the media ministry.
What started with simple Bible study recordings quickly grew into a full livestreaming ministry. By God’s grace, I helped Trinity launch and manage a $50,000 capital campaign that upgraded livestream production and expanded Gospel reach to members at home and in the community.
Growing in Service to the LCMS
As the need for professional church communications grew, LCMS congregations began partnering with me to strengthen their visual identity, digital presence, and outreach strategies.
These partnerships, grounded in faith and service, inspired the rebirth of my business as Phoenix Anthem, LLC—a Christ-centered marketing agency and media partner serving Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod ministries across Wisconsin and nationwide.
The Meaning Behind Our Name: Resurrection Hope.
Just as Christ rose victorious over sin and death, Phoenix Anthem was born from the ashes of a previous chapter, refined and rededicated to His glory. Our work is an "Anthem"—a hymn of praise magnifying the message of Christ crucified through design and digital media.
From Pulpit to Platform
Today, Phoenix Anthem helps LCMS congregations with full-scale website design, video production, sermon series branding, school enrollment campaigns, district consulting, and livestream training. Every project is crafted with care, rooted in Lutheran theology, and driven by a single goal: to help ministries clearly and creatively proclaim Christ crucified for the forgiveness of sins.
“How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent?” - Romans 10:14–15
I hold an Associate of Science in Computer Science, along with Bachelor of Arts degrees in History and Journalism. A firm believer in lifelong learning, I’m always seeking new ways to grow in both skill and service. One of my long-term goals is to pursue a Master’s degree at Concordia University Wisconsin, further equipping me to serve the Church through media and communication.
This educational foundation—blending technical ability, historical awareness, and storytelling—has uniquely shaped the work I do for LCMS congregations, helping them communicate their identity clearly and faithfully in a digital world.
Our Creative Vision.
At Phoenix Anthem, we believe that creativity is a gift meant to serve the Gospel. Every project—whether a video, website, photo, or brand—begins with the same goal: to faithfully proclaim Christ and strengthen His Church. Explore the work we’ve done with LCMS congregations, schools, and ministries across Wisconsin, and see how we bring that vision to life.
