If you ask a group of ten Christians how they found their church I suspect that 9 of them will say they found it because of an awesome message posted on the church sign. Church signs are important because they show your community who you are. Any church that wants to reach their community needs to put a summary of what they’re about on their reader board. A church sign communicates so well a church’s hipness, politics, and theology. Here are some examples:
Notice the strategy here. They’re encouraging those who read the sign to come to church which is good. They’re also making a veiled reference to sex. And you know if you can associate your church with sex that’s always a win. It is always a “win-win,” when you can talk about sex, without talking about sex. Are you trackin’ with me?
Look at what they’ve chosen to do here. Pure 21st Century marketing genius! You want your community to know you’re current, you’re hip, you’re aware of the World Wide Web. This sign accomplishes all that, while also making a pun!!!
Persuasive? Yes! Clever? Absolutely! This sign is so gripping that you may be in danger of staring too long while also driving your car!
The beauty of this sign is that it advocates for two things righteousness and conservative politics. Wait, aren’t those both the same thing? My Bad.
In case you can’t see this sign says “Git-R-Done Fer God”. I don’t know why the website I found this on labeled this photo “redneck,” because if you put this sign up in New York City you’ll have a packed house in two weeks.
True. A valuable warning to this churches community. I particularly like how they pair a Dairy Queen style motif with solid theology.
Short, sweet, to the point.
This one says “Jesus Doesn’t Need Lawyers, He Needs Witnesses.” ’Nuff said.
9Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10So the servants went out into the streets and brainstormed for the cleverest signs they could think of so they wouldn’t have to, you know, personally stand there and invite them in. Far better to let their wit do the talking, as it were.

excellent!
AV: That sign is too perfect.
My sister Jenny called me up a while ago to tell me about a church sign she had just driven by. It said: Fred says, “Yabba, dabba, doo, Jesus loves you!!”
That was the closest I’ve ever come to atheism.
NO! That’s just…there are no words.
I mean. . .I thought of saying some things about the faulty meter of the “poetry” and . . .but, no. I would kill someone just for telling me about this sign. Not literally. But in my heart, where it counts.
uuughh! Those are terrible!
