Discover how to leverage technology in your church

Sermons are a must-have on any church website—but what’s the best way to display sermons on my church website? The good news is you have a few options to choose from. The best choice will depend on your goals and how you’re recording your messages each week.

If you work at a church and are responsible for designing graphics but aren’t a graphic designer, you’ve likely pulled your hair out a time or two. If you don’t have experience in graphic design, it can be hard to come up with fresh ideas that look the way you want them to. 

Churches often look to rank themselves on Google with SEO, so that they can reach more people for the sake of the Gospel.

Your church website home page is the first page visitors will see when they come to your site. To that end, it’s important for this page to include all the information they’d need to understand what your church believes, how they can attend services, and how they can reach you.

Church presentation slides are an important part of your worship. While, of course, they’re not as important as truthfully preaching the Word of God, slides help transmit the message you’re preaching to those in the pews—hopefully in an easy-to-read way.

However, many churches struggle to put together slides that are clear, consistent, and well-designed. You don’t have to be a graphic designer to make effective slides—we’re here to show you how!

Church directories have been an important part of churches’ communication strategies for many years. While they’ve evolved over time, their purpose is still the same: to collect your members’ information and organize it in a way that’s easy to use.

What’s the first thing you see when you go to your church website? It’s likely some sort of image with text or your logo over it. This graphic is called a website banner, and it’s a crucial part of any successful church website design.
