Outdoor Church Signs – Bringing People Together

Outdoor Church Signs – Bringing People Together

Outdoor church signs are usually posted right outside a church in an effort to attract more people into the church that normally wouldn’t attend. They are an interesting thing to study however, because there is really no good way to know if they work or not. Many people disagree that they are even worth the time and effort because they don’t think they actually do attract more people, rather attract people who are interested in merely the artwork of the sign. The simple fact is that it comes down to a personal opinion.

The first thing you need to think about is whether or not your church needs or can utilize an outdoor sign. You need to think about the reasons your using one, if it’s to be gaudy and show off how pretty it is, maybe it’s not for you. You want to have one for purposes of leading people into your church, not to show off. Outdoor church signs can also become the face of your church and make memorable impressions on peoples minds.

They can also cause unnecessary fights between members in your church, about design, where to put it, etc.

Designs for church signs should be made by either an appointed team or the whole congregation. Just having random people design it can cause problems. For everyone to design an outdoor church sign can be a problem if no one has a background with it and knows what they are doing. They can be used as a great way to promote your church and welcome people in. But they can also be used to make people feel guilty, sometimes that feeling comes by just reading the sign, other times churches put out signs specifically meant to make people feel guilty.

The actual church sign can be a powerful tool when used in the right way, the colors need to be bright but not to opposing, the design should be modern, sleek, and elegant, without looking like the church is for high rollers only

And most of all, it needs to give the feel of help and care, not rich and uncaring.

Some outdoor church designs we come across in our everyday life make us stop to think, others make us wonder why they haven’t updated their sign in years, and then every once in awhile you come across one that just draws you into the church and you want to go and check out the church right away. Whatever the case, outdoor church signs can be a huge benefit to you and your church.
