Church website design trends are ever-changing, just like any trend. Other than it is difficult to keep up with, it’s a good thing. I mean, who wants the same designs year after year?

As we head into a new year, you might be considering a church website redesign. This is a good idea. Especially if it’s been a good number of years since the last update.

  It’s officially the holiday season, and Christmas planning is at full pace. Whether you’re a worship leader finalizing your Christmas worship setlist or a small group leader looking for some beautiful songs to play at your next gathering, here are some ideas to get you started.

The most wonderful time of year is right around the corner! It seems we blink and it’s Christmas again. Which is exciting and inspiring but can be a little overwhelming at the same time, especially if you’re a pastor who is trying to come up with another idea for your Christmas sermon.     But rather than worry about what you will preach concerning Jesus’ birth, start by praying about what God wants to share with your congregation.

Hosting harvest festivals at your church can be a fun and strategic way to provide a safe place for kids of all ages to come and have fun. It is also a great alternative to celebrating Halloween for those churches who would rather steer away from any Halloween party. Another great aspect of hosting a harvest festival is the opportunity for outreach within the community.  

As the weather turns colder and the leaves change color, the holiday season is fast approaching. Your church teams may be brainstorming fall festivals, Thanksgiving sermons, and gearing up for Christmas.  

Church events are a powerful way to bring in new visitors and help current members to engage in community.  They connect people and further the message of the gospel in methods outside of Sunday service. Many people want to dig deeper into community but they’re not sure how. Hosting events at your church can provide this unity and togetherness.
