Top Design Sites for Pastors and Churches
Top Three sites for church Graphics
Looking for great graphics to share on a Sunday morning or on social media hasn’t always been easy. Thankfully there are now some sites that can provide great designs without ruining your budget. Here are my “go to” sites for churches that are on a budget but still want great graphics. They are based on budget, graphic quality, and flexibility in commitment.
1. Share Faith
My absolute favorite place for graphic designs is Share Faith. Share Faith boasts hundreds of great graphics and best of all they are all customizable. Using Photoshop which you can get through Tech Soup (Read the article on top three things you need to apply for) you can design and change any element of the graphic but even if you don’t have Photoshop they have an online option using Canva where you can still make changes to any design. What I love about Sharefaith is everything is laid out and designed in such a way that it makes it easy to customize any graphic changing it within a few minutes. The results are professional looking designs without having to know how to design professionally. Most of their designs also come with a countdown or other design layouts that can be used for newsletters, powerpoint or bulletins. The price is also very attractive in that you can choose a monthly option if you cannot afford to pay yearly. This makes it accessible to all church sizes and budgets. Please check them out as they are The Practical Pastors number one choice for graphic design for churches.

2. Canva
Though there are many companies that offer sermon based graphics what I like about Canva is there’s a great selection of stock photos and Canva gives you the ability to design online. Canva has hundreds of custom templates and stock images and its really easy to edit. I have used this site when I am designing outreach events or projects that might not be found on most church design sites. This site will save you lots of time and frustration in trying to find a unique design for your events. They also give their pro version away to nonprofits, so do yourself a favor and apply and make this a “go to” place for your design needs.

3. Creation Swap
Creation Swap has tons of great graphics with many of them offered for free. If you want more then their free graphics Creation swap runs on either a pay per item or a yearly membership. They also have their own version of Photoshop called Liveswap which can help you change the text. This additional feature is what makes Creation Swap stand apart from some of the other Christian content producers.
...Graphic designs shouldn't be complicated or cost you tons of money.
