Did a bit more searching and found the "fancy splash screen" customization group. However, it doesn't seem to work. I set fancy-splash-image to a text file, but now it jumps straight to the scratch buffer, even after changing fancy-splash-image back to default. I tried setting it to an xpm image file, but that didn't work either. I can customize the scratch buffer with initial-scratch-message, but would prefer to have my messages on the splash.
