Outreach, Information, and Identity: Why Church Signs Are Important

Though faiths differ on how and when they should evangelize to others, good, well-executed signs for churches serve plenty of purposes. Don't neglect the potential of the church sign to serve like a tool for outreach, a way to inform your congregation about upcoming events, and as the most visible symbol of the church's mission and identity. You're doing your community a disservice if you do not!

Here are some things to consider when thinking about how to use your church sign:

Tools for Outreach

Your church sign is an advertisement. As distasteful as that may sound, that doesn't mean it's equal to a corporate logo-- it just implies that it is a way of putting your best foot forward to the general population. You would like individuals to take your church as seriously as you do: why wouldn't you would like your sign to reflect that?

Though an attractively-designed sign can, in and of itself, function as a compelling reason behind individuals to be curious about your church, your outreach efforts can be seriously bolstered with your sign as a forum. Inspirational quotes, scripture, and invitations to events like support group meetings or community fundraisers can actually give people a concept of the mission of your church. LED signs can cycle through multiple messages at a time, providing you with a platform by which to transmit your church's message.

Information for the Congregation

Beyond informing the public about what your church can be, a sign can also be a notice to your congregation about events.

Other communications vehicles, like email, social networking, or newsletters, are only able to do so much to get your congregation involved; signs for churches can serve as that extra reminder they need to remember important times and dates. Within the information age, it's more essential than ever before to ensure your community knows about opportunities in your church.

A Symbol of Your Identity

An indication is really a permanent fixture and therefore, is really a living symbol to both your congregation and the general public of what you are, what you want to complete, and what you believe in. It's an chance to establish your identity - and also to communicate that identity to others.

There are plenty of small ways that church signs can reflect your church. Is your congregation traditionally-minded, or could they be more relaxed and open? What are its most significant values? These are not trivial questions. They strike to the heart of methods you connect with the community who are around you.
