Recently, we discussed North Point’s creative process. But in case you’re looking for something more pre-packaged, we wanted to let you know about a number of churches and a few other places that offer free resource graphics:
- Elevation Church
- Lifechurch.tv
- Northside Christian Church
- Stuff I Can Use (Southeast Christian Church)
- The Church Box (Four Corners Community Church)
- CreativeMYK
- Muddy River Media
Of course free resources aren’t a great long-term solution. If you value good design and communication, you should invest the time and effort to do it yourself. Easier said than done, but communities like the Church Marketing Lab can help you learn and grow. You can’t live off other church’s resources forever.
But we certainly thought you should know that some other churches are doing it well and willing to share.

Smashing Magazine recently posted an article of free stock material – I haven’t had a chance to look through it yet, but figured it was worth mentioning here. Their website in general is worth subscribing to for anyone involved in graphic communication. Link below

On ChurchMediaDesign.tv we include a freebie every week. Most weeks this is a free motion background to use behind lyrics. You can find links in each weeks show notes.
Also in Episode 21 I covered all the Free Church Resources I could find online. Check out the show notes for that episode for a lot more links to sites like these.
