But when a flyer isn’t designed well, it becomes another casualty of the recycling bin and all the other flyers no one takes the time to read.
A well-designed church flyer is part of your strategy to present your church family as a friendly, vibrant, and interesting group with something significant to offer at your event, youth program, or through other services such as food banks and volunteer days.
Free Church Flyers to Promote Your Event
Finding good church flyers to represent your event can be a challenge for many churches. Not every church can afford a graphic designer. Many free online flyers are either outdated and poorly reflected by your church or cluttered and hard to read (or both).
Your church flyers represent your event, so we believe their design should be of the highest quality. We also believe that your flyers should present information in an easy-to-understand way so that people are more likely to respond to them.
That’s why we designed three free church flyers that you can download and easily customize for your event today! All you’ll need to edit these templates is Photoshop.
#1 Free Church Flyer – Community Worship Event
This free flyer template was specifically designed to promote a community worship service. However, the design is broad enough to be used for various church events.
#2 Free Church Flyer – Summer Youth Camp
With a fun and Summer-focused theme, this flyer is perfect for promoting a youth camp or Vacation Bible School.
#3 Free Church Flyer – Back-to-School Service
This creative flyer can be used to promote a back-to-school or other school-related event.
Tips for Printing and Distributing Your Flyers
Once you’ve decided on a flyer design, it’s time to print and distribute your church event flyers! Anna Lundberg has written an excellent article with practical advice on how to get started. We’ve summarized the main points below:
1) Step One: Find a Printer.
Consider price, quality, type of printing, and time when deciding on a printer.
Digital printers usually offer a quicker turnaround time. Offset printing usually requires that a minimum of several hundred copies be printed. This option also usually has a longer setup time. However, offset printing has flexibility regarding the number of colors you can use in your church flyer. If you need to print many flyers (1,000+), offset printing is probably your best option, even when paying for a rushed order.
Make sure to consider location if you’ll pick the flyers up yourself.
2) Step Two: Decide on the Quality and Texture of the Paper
Before printing, there are several things to consider. Such as the thickness of the paper, the finish (e.g., matte or glossy), and whether or not the flyers will need to be folded.
Consider requesting some samples from your printer to get a feel for the various options you could choose. You must be mindful of your budget, as it affects your options.
3) Step Three: Decide on the Number of Copies
The price you pay per flyer will decrease as copies increase. But you don’t want to waste money printing more copies than you need and have to throw many copies away. If your church event is time-sensitive or seasonal, you won’t be able to reuse your flyers.
4) Step Four: Consider a Test Print
If possible, make sure you can see a test print before the full order is printed. Things look different on paper than they do online.
Double-check the pictures and colors, ensure the copy is legible, and proofread everything again!
5) Step Five: Physical Distribution
Once your flyers are printed, the work has only just begun! Carefully consider how you will get your flyers into the right people’s hands.
You’ll want to maximize the chances of your flyers being seen, read, and acted on. You’ll also want to ensure you’re going to the right places and reaching the right people.
6) Step Six: Digital Distribution
Consider sending your flyers as PDFs to your email list and posting them on social media to get even more mileage at no extra cost.
