Easter remains one of the most spiritually significant and uplifting times of the year for churches and their congregations. It’s a time of renewal, hope and connection – and that includes reconnecting with your community. In today’s fast-paced, digitally-driven world, churches have an incredible opportunity to use both traditional and digital marketing tools to make Easter celebrations more inclusive and impactful.
Whether your services are in-person, streamed online, or a hybrid mix, custom signs and church banners from BannerBuzz can help spread the word, create a welcoming space and build meaningful engagement this Easter season.
The first impression begins well before your sermon starts – it begins in the parking lot, or even as people drive by your church during the week. Outdoor signs like custom vinyl banners, feather flags and yard signs are essential tools for inviting the wider community to participate in your Easter events.
Place feather flags at entry points to grab attention from a distance and use yard signs around your neighborhood to highlight Easter Sunday service times, community events like egg hunts, and family-friendly gatherings. These simple tools serve as silent greeters, warmly inviting both regular attendees and first-time visitors.
Consider messages like:
Ensure your signage includes your church’s website and social media handles so newcomers can quickly learn more.
Health safety continues to be a top priority for many communities. Although in-person attendance has returned in large numbers since the height of the pandemic, a portion of your congregation – especially elderly members – may still appreciate visible safety measures.
Equip your church entrances and common areas with A-frame signs directing visitors to hand sanitizing stations, mask policies (if any), or seating options. Floor decals can help guide foot traffic for events or services with larger crowds.
If you’re organising a high-attendance service, like an Easter sunrise gathering, be clear and consistent with directional signage. Custom banner stands or foam boards placed at entrances and exits can ease flow and reduce confusion, particularly for families with young children.
Many individuals seek spiritual guidance or renewed faith around Easter, making this the perfect time to extend a hand to first-time attendees. Your signage should reflect inclusivity, warmth and hospitality.
Window decals with uplifting Easter messages or Scripture passages can transform your church’s exterior into an inviting space that reflects the hope and joy of the season. BannerBuzz’s window signs are easy to apply and remove, making them ideal for seasonal updates.
Inside, custom posters and easel signs can be used to guide visitors to classrooms, restrooms, children’s programs, or coffee areas. Think beyond utility – these signs are a chance to reflect your church’s mission and energy. Incorporate brand-consistent colors, smiling faces, and inviting phrases like:
Hybrid services are here to stay. Many congregations now host live streams or post-service recordings to platforms like YouTube and Facebook, allowing remote attendees to stay connected.
Use banners, and flyers to promote both online and in-person services. Messaging such as “Worship With Us – In Person or Online” helps communicate your accessibility and adaptability to a wide audience.
Additionally, QR codes printed on signage are a smart touch – link them directly to your live stream or Easter event registration pages. BannerBuzz allows custom printing that includes QR codes, URLs and logos for a seamless digital connection.
If your church is hosting special events this Easter – like children’s Easter egg hunts, sunrise services, charity drives or musical performances – promote them early with custom flyers, brochures and mailers.
Pair these print materials with cohesive signage onsite, such as directional signs and custom canopies for outdoor events. Branding all your materials with consistent messaging, fonts, and colors helps create a unified look and feel.
Don’t forget personalisation – add a short welcome message to banners or postcards to build familiarity and trust, especially with first-time guests.
Easter is an emotional touchpoint. Consider creating a memorable takeaway with custom promotional items like bookmarks with Biblical verses, magnets with Easter themes, or personalised notepads for sermon notes.
Distribute these as welcome gifts for newcomers or include them in children’s Easter bags. BannerBuzz offers a range of customisable items that can be branded with your church’s logo, Easter message or service times.
Even something as small as a custom sticker on a gift bag can leave a lasting impression and make attendees feel seen and appreciated.
Families with children often look for faith communities that offer robust children’s ministries. If your church is hosting Easter-specific activities like puppet shows or Easter egg hunts, make sure your signage reflects that.
Pole banners and flags can be used outdoors to highlight family-friendly programming. Indoors, use easel signage or tabletop posters to guide families to check-in stations and activity areas.
Clearly indicate pick-up and drop-off procedures and any safety protocols in place. Use friendly fonts, cheerful colors, and icons that appeal to younger visitors.
The energy and engagement built around Easter should extend into the weeks that follow. Use your signage to promote upcoming sermon series or volunteer opportunities.
For example, vinyl banners that read “Join Us Next Sunday – New Series Begins!” or yard signs promoting a community BBQ or fellowship night keep the momentum alive and encourage return visits.
You can also reuse and adapt many of your Easter materials by removing or swapping specific messaging while keeping the branding consistent.
