Unlock the Power of Free Church Media: How to Find and Utilize High-Quality Resources to Enhance Your Worship Experience
Free church media is a strategic resource for churches who want to level up their worship experience. Fortunately, there are plenty of easy ways to access media that’s free–and high quality–for your church.
What is Free Church Media?
Free church media includes static graphics, customizable graphics, and even video content that your church can use for sermon series, social media, your church website, email marketing, and more.
Benefits of Free Church Media
Free church media can help your church create beautiful, engaging marketing content at very little cost. All you need is an admin, volunteer, or staff member who is willing to download the media and post where necessary.
Types of Free Church Media
There are a few different categories of free church media. You might use free media created by artists in your church, stock photos, collections of customizable sermon series graphics, media created with subscription services, media with motion backgrounds, stills, or even AI-generated content. Just make sure that all of your graphics are kept in one organized folder of files!
Remember that church graphics don’t need to be cookie cutter. Your media won’t appeal to absolutely everyone. Think about your church members and what would appeal to them. If you need help, look to your church members for inspiration. What kinds of social media posts do they respond to?
When choosing a way to create church graphics, think about your needs. Churches who want to create logos with their name and customized color palette may need to hire a graphic designer. When creating sermon presentations, social media posts, or even icons for your website, a free church media service may be sufficient.

We live in a visual culture. In our fast-moving world, people’s brains have been trained to size up an event, product, or experience with a quick scan. In the business world, it’s why product packaging and advertising is so important. In the influence economy, it’s why Instagram is so vital to messaging—even if that messaging is predominately image-based.
As Christians who long to reach the lost and welcome brothers and sisters in Christ, we need to be concerned about what people see. Our imagery and branding communicates so much about who we are as Jesus followers.
The good news is there are lots of free resources out there offering more royalty-free church images, graphics, and videos.
That’s what we’ve focused on in our list: sites that offer free media AND cater to local churches.
The best church media subscriptions make it easy for churches to create awesome content, whether they need a church background for their TikTok account, sermon slides, Instagram posts, or graphics for free church resources.

It’s just one small way we can partner with local churches for the sake of the kingdom.
2) Life.Church Open
From the folks who created the popular YouVersion app comes Life.Church Open, a catalog of 35,000 resources, including sermons, lessons for kids, worship songs, videos, leadership training, and, of course, graphics.
The offerings here go far beyond free church media videos, so it may take some time to sort through and discover exactly what your church needs. But with a track record of excellence in content and design, it’s worth the effort.
Everything in Life.Church Open is free, but you do need to sign up. The creators say that is to ensure that nothing on the site is used for commercial purposes. Even so, there are plenty of large-church resources that can now be used by every church, everywhere, no matter how small.

Pixel Preacher is definitely worth having in your church’s media arsenal.
4) Seeds

6) Church Media Spot
Church Media Spot offers videos, graphics, photos, music, fonts, and more. While most of the resources on the site cost money, there are thousands of graphics available. Catering more to the in-person service, you’ll find screen images, countdowns, and worship slides. Plus every month, there’s a free motion background.
In addition to these sites, there are also a slew of pages offering free images and videos. Unsplash, Pixabay, Pexels, and Stock Up are the most popular. Just know these resources are not specifically intended for churches.
