Designing Church Bulletins That People Actually Read

The church bulletin is one of the most underrated communication tools in ministry. Done well, it becomes a weekly guide that people actually keep.

Less Is More

Cut the clutter. Focus on this week's essentials: service order, one key announcement, and one upcoming event.

Use Visual Hierarchy

Bigger headlines for important items. Consistent fonts. Plenty of white space.

Include a Clear Next Step

Every bulletin should answer: "What's the one thing I should do this week?"

Go Digital

Consider a digital bulletin that links to your website, giving you analytics on what people click and read.
