Churches and Christian organizations have always understood the importance of branding and symbols to communicate purpose and attract followers. The Christian cross is one of the most potent branding symbols in history.

If you're about to launch a church app or you're looking to re-invigorate your congregation or get folks fired up to volunteer for ministry service, a brand new Christian logo can do wonders for uniting people, help to communicate the vision of your church and demonstrate how your organization is positively impacting the local community.

In this article, we'll show you how to get a fantastic church logo that's perfect for Christian / other religious groups and organizations with a limited budget. If you spend time crafting sermons and writing inspiring articles for your Christian followers, don't let a dated logo or website weaken the message.

Good logos are also important if you're launching a new digital channel. For example, if you're starting a Christian podcast to follow in the footsteps of mega influencer Carey Nieuwhof or you want to live-stream your sermons via social media, a strong visual brand will help people connect with your mission (and find you online). Same goes if you've built a bible study app or new Christian media website, a coherent brand identity will help you get found in the app store and recalled by your audience.

Once you have your new logo, you can update your church website, signage, print flyers promoting your services, and proudly display your new logo on your church Facebook page or launch the design via an Instagram post.
