Five Video Ideas for your Ministry
AF Creative has done a lot of work for local churches over the years. Here are five kinds of videos that we have seen churches using for their ministry.
- Website Welcomes – a welcome video welcomes visitors to your website and tells them a little about your church. Although there are no set rules, most people seem to value a personal welcome from the pastor, as well as showing footage of Sunday mornings so visitors have a better idea what to expect when they come.

- Video Testimonies – allow a changed life to tell their story with a “talking head” interview. Many churches will play a recorded testimony before a baptism or put interviews with church members on the website to share what the church has meant to them.
- Promo “Trailers” – a fun way to promote an event or ministry is to create a promo video in the style of an epic movie trailer.
- Vision Videos – cast your vision for your church plant or ministry campaign with an inspiring documentary that informs and compels people to action. A vision video is designed to strengthen your message and extend your reach. Click here to see an example of a church planting vision video.
- Lead-ins – a lead-in is a thematic introduction for a sermon series that plays before the sermon starts. These can be illustrations or just a stylish animated graphic. For more about lead-ins, see the post Branding Your Church’s Sermon Series.
