Canva templates for churches

Custom design you can change yourself.

You can have your cake and eat it too. We design your graphics in your brand, then build the pieces that change into locked Canva templates. When the sermon title changes on Saturday night, your team fixes it in two minutes, and it still looks custom.

Included on our Standard and Premium plans.

Our take on Canva

We meet churches where they are.

Some designers scoff at Canva. We would rather serve the churches that use it.

Some designers turn their nose up at Canva. We get it. Given the choice, we would rather design in Adobe’s tools. But we also know a lot of churches use Canva, and some are almost embarrassed to say so. It is easy for volunteers to learn, it is affordable, and many churches qualify for Canva Pro for free through Canva for Nonprofits.

Not every church can afford Adobe software or a design subscription like ours, and they should not have to in order to steward their ministry well. Jesus met people where they were, and Paul put it this way:

“To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.”

1 Corinthians 9:22 · ESV

So we would rather be a resource than a gatekeeper. When it makes sense, we build Canva templates that look great and are practical enough for your team to actually use.

How we build your Canva templates

Professional design first. Canva second.

Your templates don’t start in Canva. They start the same way all of our work does, and that is why they still look custom when your team edits them.

  1. 1

    We design it

    Our designers create your series, event or pack in professional design software, in your brand.

  2. 2

    We break it apart

    We export the backgrounds, elements and title art, and gather your fonts.

  3. 3

    We rebuild it in Canva

    We set up a brand kit and rebuild each piece to match the original as closely as Canva allows, then lock what should stay put.

  4. 4

    You make it yours

    Your team types, drops in a photo or video, and posts or prints, from one shareable link.

Canva has a few limits, like certain effects and font licenses. When something can’t be matched exactly, we get as close as we can and tell you where.

A bulletin story

Custom bulletins they finish in an hour.

Ravenswood Baptist Church wanted a printed bulletin that felt custom without paying for a new print run every week. So we built a system.

  1. We designed the shell.A reusable folded bulletin printed once, in bulk.
  2. We designed the insert paper.Sheets pre-printed with their black border and red stripes, so every insert looks full bleed.
  3. We built the insert in Canva.Front and back templates with several layouts for the order of service, announcements and sermon notes.
  4. They print it each week.The office team types the week’s details, feeds the bordered paper into their own printer and tucks it into the shell.
Our office team now finishes these announcement cards in about an hour. It used to take them four or five hours.

YouTube thumbnails

Church YouTube thumbnail templates your team fills in every week.

This is the one our churches love most. We build a thumbnail system with a set spot for your pastor’s photo and a title you type each week, often with three or four variations so the channel stays fresh but always looks like you.

Swap the color, keep the brand.
Bold series art that still takes a new title each week.
Drop in the photo, type the title, publish.
A series look that stays consistent all season.
Series and guest speaker thumbnails in one place.
A weekly default the team fills in every Sunday.

Series kits

Editable church sermon slides and series kits.

A sermon series becomes a set of fill-in pieces: screen slides, sermon points, scripture slides, socials and stories. We only build the pages your team types into, so the kit stays simple to use every week.

Every page is one the team types into.The title art stays finished. Sermon points, scripture, socials and stories are fill-in pages.

Even a mosaic title effect is something the team types itself.The mosaic look is the same title typed three times in three colors, and the template includes a note showing the team how.

Events and print

Church event templates in Canva, including the printed pieces.

For events, we build the screens, socials and printed pieces as one coordinated kit: programs, certificates, table signs and menus. Printed pieces are set up so you edit them and print in house.

Multi campus packs

One Canva pack, shared with every campus.

One pack goes to every campus team. Each campus types its own times, places and details, and nobody touches the design.

Canva questions.

Can our volunteers edit these?

Yes. Anyone with the link can type their details and swap photos, and the layout stays locked in place.
